How do I request credit for an event I attended on my own?

If you find PD events to attend that are not on your MobileMind Events calendar, you can still request credit for those.


As a learner in MobileMind, you can also request credit for any professional development events you have found on your own that are taking place outside of your district.

  • From your Events calendar, you can click on Request Approval from the left sidebar.
