Courses are graduate-level, professional development semester units of credit that are not part of a degree program, but are designed to meet specific staff development needs. Through our partnership with Fresno Pacific University, attendees of the 2024 CADA Convention have an opportunity to purchase up to two optional college credits. A grade of Credit/No Credit (CR or NC) will be issued for all coursework. Credit is equivalent to a B grade or better. Letter grades are not issued.
Courses are available for participants in the Master Activity Advisor (MAA) Program as well as attendees of the Convention not enrolled in the MAA Program. Members may register for no more than 2 units total. Registration information will be available in the Professional Development tab of the convention website/app or at the Professional Development kiosk at the registration desk during the Convention. Payments for college units are made directly to Fresno Pacific University using credit card.
