Posting this in case it helps anyone in the future since I was confused about how to get PDU credit for graduate school courses.
I entered each 3 credit hour course as 3 PDU's, using the semester dates and the description from the university's course catalog, and all were approved. Saving Changes...

You may be due a few more PDU(s) based on actual contact hours in class. Each hour of scheduled classroom participation qualifies for one PDU. Saving Changes...

Thanks for the info Mychal. You are entitled to doign so as long as the courses are related to project management and you can prorate the number of hours. Saving Changes...
No, so long as you have supporting documentation for your claim in case it gets challenged. If the provider is an ATP, it will be automatically approved.

Will courses that are part of the core curriculum for a PhD in Organizational Development be given the 1 PDU credit per credit hour recognition? Saving Changes...

I agree with Gary on this one. A three credit graduate course may be upwards of 15-20 PDUs. It's the number of hours in the classroom. To address Ignacio, any course with a well-defined objective counts toward PDUs. It does not need to be an ATP nor an accredited institution like a college. For example, an online course from your employer in Handling Difficult Employees counts. For John, don't forget the courses you might have taken toward your Masters as well. As long as the course took place after you attained your PMP, it counts toward your PDU requirement. PMI has really loosened the PDU requirement allowing any form of learning to count. So don't automatically think you need to take a class. Volunteering for your local community center on a project counts as just one example. Saving Changes...
