Region II NERCC Members

As the assistant/associate/deputy superintendent of your county, you are the local faculty responsible for finalizing and verifying the enrollment.

Each unit of credit is based on 15 hours of instructional contact. The hours may be earned in combination with a variety of delivery systems, e.g., an ETN program of two hours followed by a two-hour workshop conducted by a curriculum specialist. The educator can then count 4 hours towards the unit of credit.

Each program attendance must be verified by the facilitator. You need to maintain an attendance sign-in sheet for each program. The final enrollment requesting the units requires your signature verifying the information to be true and accurate. You may, at your discretion, require additional course work in order to earn the requested credit. If there is no sign-off by you, no credit will be granted. A late fee of $10.00 per class will apply after the following dates:

• Spring 2008: May 1, 2008 - (Transcripts available after May 1, 2008)
• Summer 2008: August 1, 2008 - (Transcripts available after August 1, 2007)
• Fall 2008: December 1, 2008 - (Transcripts available after December 1, 2008)

All hours submitted for credit must have occurred within the last 12 months. No future hours will be considered for credit. Fees are $60 per unit of credit. Fees are subject to change.

The enrollment/attendance verification form and educator information is now available online. You may want to link this site to your own website to facilitate access for individual educators. It will be their responsibility to maintain this record. Verification forms may be submitted at any time during the semester. A verification form is required for each educator and course (i.e., two forms need to be completed to enroll in INTD 854 and INTD 855). These courses are graded credit/no credit and do not meet degree or credential requirements. The maximum number of units that can be earned in a single term is ten.

Currently enrolled students can access grades through the CSC Portal. If they've never logged on, they may contact Continuing Education at 898-6105 to obtain their Chico State ID.
