Cedar Crest College Credits

The Wildlife Leadership Academy works with Cedar Crest College to offer three (3) college credits to participants who attend field school and fulfill all the necessary requirements. In order to obtain these credits, participants must:

  • Check the “yes” box during registration, indicating that you are interested in the credits
  • Attend the full duration of field school
  • Complete the pre- and post-tests and daily quizzes (conducted at the field school)
  • Submit the College Credit Registration Form AND payment after field school (we will follow up with you)

In order to seek college credit, you must return the College Credit Registration Form and payment by the due date. If this form and tuition payment to Cedar Crest College is not received, you will not receive your transcript for college credits.

What if I check no at registration, but decide after field school that I want college credit?

You will not be eligible to receive the college credits. Participants must indicate prior to field school, so we can keep proper documentation during field school.

What is the cost of the college credits?

The total cost is $2,025.00, payable by check to Cedar Crest College. Payment will be requested after the field school along with the submission of your College Credit Registration Form and must be sent by no later than August 25th.

If I am interested in credit now, but decide later I do not want to receive them, do I still have to pay?

No. If you decide later that you no longer want to pursue the college credit option, you do not have to send the tuition payment or form. You may simply notify us and we will take you off the list.

Act 48 Credits

The Academy offers Act 48 credit hours for Adult Mentors who attend field school and fulfill all the necessary requirements. In order to obtain these credits, Adult Mentors must:

  • Check the “yes” box during registration, indicating that you are interested in the credits
  • Attend the full duration of field school
  • Complete the pre- and post-tests and daily quizzes (conducted at the field school)
  • Compose and send a lesson plan with the incorporated class activities to the directors (click here to view a lesson plan example)

What if I check no at registration, but decide after field school that I want the Act 48 credits?

You will not be eligible to receive the credits. Adult Mentors must indicate prior to field school, so we can keep proper documentation during field school.

When is the lesson plan assignment due?

Participants must send the lesson plan and summary report to the directors by December 31st.

If I am interested in credit now, but decide later I do not want to receive them?

If you decide later that you no longer want to pursue the Act 48 credit option, you may simply notify us and we will take you off the list.
