• Information sheet - contains program logistics (dates, location, etc.)
• Course proposal form - explains the course content, outcomes, and rationale
• Complete course syllabus - meets the requirements outlined in the syllabus guide
• Current résumé or curriculum vitae for each instructor

Sample application materials:

• Sample syllabus

Submit your documents by email to:
jwolleck@pdx.edu

Approval process and timing

Once your application materials are submitted, the Cooperative Credit Program will review them for completeness and forward them to the appropriate academic department for approval. The Cooperative Credit Program will notify you of the outcome within three to four weeks.

If approved, you may advertise your course as a PSU course and it can be advertised in the CEED quarterly catalog. The catalog is distributed to 19,000 educators in Oregon. In order to include your course information, we will need your complete application (information sheet, proposal, syllabus, and résumé) at least three months prior to catalog publication. View the publication deadline dates for current information. If you do not wish to include your course in the catalog, we will need your complete application three to four weeks prior to the start of the class.

Registration Process

Once your course is approved, we will mail you a packet which includes a blank roster with the course number on it, evaluation forms, and postage-paid envelopes. Evaluations are required for all PSU classes and must be completed using the scantron forms provided. No other format will be accepted at this time. The rest of the materials you will need for registering students and issuing grades can be downloaded from the Instructor Forms page of our website.
