Common use of Graduate Credit Clause in Contracts

Graduate Credit. Occasionally the school district will offer a course that will provide the staff the option of taking the course for graduate credit (at their own cost) or incremental credit (free of charge). The college/university partnering with the school district may require additional work from students seeking graduate credit. If there is any possible question as to whether the contemplated course is related to the field of teaching as required by a contract, a check with the Superintendent is required. All courses must be taken from an accredited college or university. Any question relative to whether an institution is accredited must be verified in advance of taking the course if the staff member is seeking tuition reimbursement and/or credit.
