National Institute for Early Childhood Professional DevelopmentPortland State University graduate credit (quarter credit) for this institute is approved through the Curriculum and Instruction (CI) Department of the Graduate School of Education. All credit for the institute is assigned the course number CI 810.
The 810 level can usually be applied to a master's degree program in the School of Education as an elective credit; however, pre-approval from an adviser is always suggested.

Students have an option for grading: they may choose either P/NP (pass/no pass) or A-F (letter grade) - see Grades for more information.
The credit fee is $80 for a 1-credit course and $140 for a 2-credit course (quarter credits).
Quarter
credit vs. semester credit
A quarter credit is exactly one quarter of the calendar year, typically
lasting 10 to 12 weeks. A semester credit is one half of the academic
year, typically lasting 15 to 16 weeks.
Credits earned under the quarter system are to be converted to semester credits by dividing the number of quarter credits by 1.5; for example, 2 quarter credits equals approximately 1.3 semester credits.
