• How do I submit a grade change?

    Follow the User Guide to submit your grade change request in Infor. Review carefully for an outline of the information you will need to complete your submission, including all documentation for each type of change to either increase your base pay or receive a lump sum payout (for PDUs if you are credit-maxed).

  • What types of credits can I submit for a Grade Change?

    Participants in required DPS MLE/ELA courses will earn DPS credit and/or graduate credit that can be used for lane movement. DPS credit (15 contact hours is the equivalent of 1 credit) is available for all MLE/ELA required classes; university credit (paid for by DPS) is available for certain courses. Participants cannot earn both DPS credit and university credit for the same class.

    University Credit:

    Credits earned from a regionally accredited institution after your highest, most recent degree. 

      • You can check for regionally accredited institutions at this external link: https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home.
      • Undergraduate or Graduate level credits can be submitted. 
      • We can only accept official transcripts. If you’re scanning a printed version, we need both sides, so scan both the front and the back of the transcript.
      • If you are submitting an advanced degree, transcripts must include the date degree was conferred.
      • Have foreign transcripts? Here is the link to NACES for an evaluation of foreign transcripts:  http://www.naces.org/members.html

    PDU credit: 

    If you complete a District approved Professional Development Unit (“PDU”) you can also submit that for credit. You can complete a max of 2 PDUs per year. To see details and a list of PDUs, view this page.

  • How do I see my Step, Grade, Credits, Longevity, Incentives, etc.?

    Log in to the Teacher Portal (SSPs also). Under “Teacher and HR support” click on “My ProComp Summary Report” and log in when prompted. You do not need to be on a DPS computer to view this.

  • Why was my ProComp request rejected and who to contact?

    Please email hr_connect@dpsk12.org

  • Can I submit credits as I complete them or do I need to wait until I have enough for a grade change?

    It is recommended that you wait until you have enough credits to complete the grade change. Otherwise you will receive a rejection notice when requesting a grade change.

  • What types of PD are accepted for ProComp?

    Only a DPS PDU. No other type of professional development is recognized for Grade movement or payment under ProComp. PDU must be completed after August 2019 while as a DCTA team member at DPS. See details of PDUs here.

  • When are steps and longevity applied to my salary?

    If applicable, Steps are applied at the beginning of the school year, after the completion of the previous year. Longevity is applied at the beginning of the school year after completion of 10 years in DCTA at DPS within the last 15. Steps and Longevity are effective August 1st.

  • Why isn't principal license eligible for advanced license incentive?

    The Colorado Principal License or Principal/Administrator License does not meet the Advanced License criteria because the license does not exceed the entry level requirements called for by the district and the Colorado Department of Education for a teacher in a teaching assignment.

  • Can I use a PDU that I took before I was a teacher (in another Bargaining Unit) for a grade change?

    No. PDU's taken as a non-DCTA employee are not eligible when you move into DCTA.
