Grading for CEU Classes
CEUs are awarded to students who receive an official grade of “Credit” (CR) based on participation/attendance/contact hours and successful completion of class exercises, homework, projects, exams, etc. All instructors must complete grading in the CSUF Faculty Center in TITAN Online. Instructors must input unofficial letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) in TITAN Online by the grade due date. These grades will then automatically convert to CR (A, B, C) or NC (D, F). If you have not received training for accessing the TITAN Online Faculty Center, contact your Program Support Staff member.
Teaching for EIP
As noted in your instructor handbook, instructor contracts are extended to instructors on a per class basis, subsequent teaching assignments/contracts are not guaranteed.
