Participation Information
Non-tenured teachers must select and receive four UNIVERSITY 97credits prior to becoming tenured. Any course offered to employees for credit requires the same level of academic scholarship that would be required to obtain university credit. UNIVERSITY 97 requires participants to be present for 15 hours of instruction to receive one hour of semester credit and 30 hours for two semester credits. Course participants should expect a minimum of two hours of preparation, research or product creation outside of course sessions for each hour that the course meets. Participants are responsible for costs related to texts and materials. Attendance is crucial for UNIVERSITY 97 credit. Participants are excused for emergencies only and are expected to complete additional work to compensate for the time missed in class. District credit awarded for satisfactory completion of a course offered by District 97 is not transferable to another place of employment for placement on the salary index.
