How can UCSD Exension academic credit help me?

Many people have successfully used UCSD Extension academic credit to accomplish their personal and professional goals. Consider the following:

• Students may be able to transfer the units they earn to their high school, college or university.
• Students in UCSD Extension's Professional Certificate in Spanish Language can apply the academic credit toward the required elective units.
• If your employer rewards professional development credit, applying for UCSD Extension credit could be a way to increase your salary. It's worth checking with your employer. For example, California teachers have had great success applying the credits toward their 150 hours of professional growth.
• Registered nurses can earn 30 CEUs after completing the weeklong program in Ensenada for credit.

How to Apply for UCSD Extension Academic Credit

1. Download the relevant academic credit information on UCSD Extension approved courses above. Read all of the information carefully.
2. After you have read the information, present it to your college, university or employer for review. Because UCSD Extension is not a degree-granting institution, your college or employer must decide how units earned through UCSD Extension will transfer. Before going abroad, confirm in writing what you will need to do to successfully apply the units earned.
3. Complete and mail the application and submit the necessary fees to UCSD Extension after you have confirmed your program enrollment with the school abroad. You must register for the language immersion program directly as UCSD Extension will not do that for you. Mail your application for academic credit to:
