| Choosing 400 or 500 Level |
Generally, if you are earning salary advancement credit, continuing certification credit, or have a master's degree, you can select to earn 400 level credit. A few school districts require the post-baccalaureate (500) level credit for salary advancement. If you plan to do the 500 level, you will need to plan an assignment with your faculty advisor that is different from the 400 level work.
NOTE: 500 level credit does not apply toward a master's degree program. |

| About the 500 Level Assignment |
|
|
|
|
|
| The 500 level assignment does not require any additional reading or research, but must use the information obtained in an entirely new way. 500 level assignments describing more of the same kind of work done for the 400 level assignment will not be accepted. Please review the examples of 500 level assignments provided in the sample Work Plan Proposals. If, after reviewing the samples, you still have questions regarding how to develop this portion of your work, then check with your faculty advisor. |

| Estimated Work Hours and the Number of Credits To Be Awarded For Your CIS Course |
Your estimate of the number of hours you will spend in completing your CIS course is what determines the number of Antioch University Seattle quarter credits that will be awarded.
Your faculty advisor will help evaluate your estimate to insure an appropriate number of work hours is proposed for each area of work you describe. Here's what you do:
1. Add the total number of hours estimated as necessary to complete each area of your work plan proposal.
2. Divide the total number by 30 to determine a 2, 3 or 5 credit course. For example: |
| 60 hrs / 30 = 2 Credits |
90 hrs / 30 = 3 Credits |
150 hrs / 30 = 5 Credits |
