Statements of Credit:
Statements of Credit are printable certificates tied to a Credit Profile. If a credit includes a printable Statement of Credit, the learner will be able to print out the statement after completing all of the credit requirements and then claiming credit. After achieving the requirements, learners will need to click the 
button and enter any required information and affirm that the information is accurate. If a statement has been included in the credit profile, the 
button will appear. Learners can return any time and click the 
button to reprint the Statement of Credit.
Statements of Credit show specific earned credit hours and must be tied to an accrediting body. These statements are not tied to the completion of a product--only to the requirements to claim a credit.
