Course work - Please Read
Some colleges and universities offer graduate credit courses that may not meet Ohio’s State Board of Education’s standard semester hour requirement of 30 hours of lecture/work per graduate credit hour. It’s crucial to thoroughly research the credit policies of the institution offering the credit, regardless of whether you plan to use it for salary advancement or licensure renewal.
Below are several online providers that offer graduate credit that cannot be approved or that can only be approved at a reduced value.
Dominican University- Will not be approved for salary movement but possibly licensure renewal.
Idaho State- This can be approved for salary movement and licensure renewal, but one (1) Idaho State semester hour is equivalent to .5 Ohio semester hours. Therefore, a 3-hour course will be reduced to 1.5 credit hours.
University of San Diego-This can be approved for salary movement and licensure renewal, but one (1) University of San Diego semester hour is equivalent to .5 Ohio semester hours. Therefore, a 3-hour course will be reduced to 1.5 credit hours.
Loyola Marymount Ed2go courses without an “X” in the course number will be declined.

The Ohio Department of Education places on hold any credential applications that individuals submit without required items, such as transcripts, documents, payments or background checks. In such cases, the applicants receive email notification indicating the specific reasons the Department placed their applications on hold. Beginning Jan. 3, 2017, the Department will limit “hold” times for applications to 60 days. Each applicant who fails to submit required missing items within 60 days will receive a message stating the Department is automatically declining his or her application. The Department charges a nonrefundable $25 processing fee to applicants for each application that it declines. Applicants may resubmit their applications with the required information.
