Professional Growth Units. To encourage ongoing professional development for faculty, the College and Union have instituted a system to credit participation in professional development activities on and off the Joliet Junior College campus.

Sixteen contact hours are equivalent to one PGU. One PGU is equivalent to one graduate credit. As alternative credit, these credits may account for up to 40% (six undergraduate or graduate credits) of the credits needed for a lane change on the salary schedule. These credits may be combined with approved course work or workshop continuing education and/or certification credits to achieve 100% (15 credits) of the credits required for a lane change. Each year in the Spring the FDC will review the activities approved for PGUs and will recommend additions and, if appropriate, subtractions from the list.
