Before you enroll β how California districts count these units
These are graduate-level semester units transcripted by UMass Global, issued through its continuing / professional education (non-degree) programs. California districts set their own salary-advancement rules, and some districts count continuing-education or non-degree units differently from degree-applicable units β which can affect how many salary points you receive. Before enrolling, we strongly recommend confirming with your district's HR or salary office that these units will count the way you expect. We're glad to provide course syllabi and transcript details to support your review β just email info@forteachersbyteachers.org.
UMass Global is regionally accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
Need the official UMass Global course numbers?
Some districts ask for the official course numbers before approving units. Grab the full reference list β course numbers and titles, ready to copy.
