New Hampshire Teacher FAQs

How do Upward courses count toward New Hampshire teacher license renewal?

The New Hampshire Department of Education requires 75 CEUs (clock hours) every 3 years for license recertification (45 CEUs in general professional education and 30 CEUs per specific endorsement area). In New Hampshire, 1 graduate semester credit converts to 15 CEUs.

Since each Upward course provides 3 graduate credits (45 CEUs), taking a single course completely fulfills your general 45-hour professional education requirement, while taking two courses yields 90 CEUs—more than enough for total 3-year renewal.

Do I need to be enrolled in a degree program for these graduate credits to count in NH?

No. Under NH Administrative Code Ed 501.02, stand-alone graduate-level coursework from a regionally accredited institution (such as UMass Global) satisfies continuing education requirements without requiring enrollment or matriculation in a degree program.

How do Upward courses satisfy the 30-hour endorsement area requirement?

Each Upward 3-credit course delivers 45 hours— more than enough for your 30 hour requirement.

Are UMass Global credits accepted by my district's Professional Development Master Plan (PDMP)?

Yes. UMass Global holds regional accreditation—the highest institutional standard in higher education. School districts across New Hampshire typically recognize regionally accredited graduate credits for Individual Professional Development Plans (IPDP) and salary schedule lane movement.

Because NH school districts operate under independent local bargaining agreements, coursework should be pre-approved before registration. Detailed course syllabi are available upon request to assist with your approval process.

How do I order my official transcript after completing a course?

Once Upward evaluates your coursework (typically within 1 week), your grade is submitted to UMass Global. Within 5 business days, your grade posts to the university portal, where you can order official transcripts directly to submit to your district HR or upload to the state portal.
