Courses numbered 500 are intended as post-baccalaureate courses appropriate for students who already hold undergraduate degrees.

Antioch University Seattle does not award letter grades. Credits are awarded on a credit/no credit basis with credit awarded equivalent to a grade of "C" or higher in 400 level courses, or a grade of "B" or higher in 500 (post-baccalaureate) level courses.

Educators should check with their district administration, state education office or department head prior to registering for a course.

COLLABORATION
Can I collaborate with other teachers on a course offered by The Heritage Institute?
The Heritage Institute encourages collaboration among teachers when taking our distance courses.
Research supports what teachers already know: working collaboratively with other teachers enhances professional development. Working in collaborative groups enhances collegial relationships, builds awareness of research-based practices and reforms, increases knowledge of school-wide issues, and improves teachers’ capacity to undertake instructional improvement.
Collaboration is only allowed on Distance study courses taken for University credit.
Please read the Group Collaboration Guidelines, even if you have read them before,
because they have changed.
The new guidelines, revised on July 1, 2011, are effective now.
You can download the Group Collaboration Guidelines as a one-page PDF documet.
You can also download the revised Group Collaboration Documentation Form.
