# Approving or Denying Credit Item Requests

Users with the [**Approve Professional Development Credits**](/v1/docs/setting-user-roles-and-rights) right can approve or deny [outside credit requests](/v1/docs/requesting-outside-professional-learning-credits).

In some cases, a [Credit Type Review](/v1/docs/credits-for-approval#credit-type-review) must be completed before users can approve credits.

Both approved and denied credits appear in the requestor’s **Professional Learning Portfolio** but not in reports. Approved credits appear with no indicator. Denied credits appear in the requester’s portfolio with a red indicator stating **Request for Credit Denied**.

## **Quick Guide**

1. Select **Credits for Approval** in the **Manage** section of the main menu.
2. Select **Credit Item Requests** under **Credit Approvals**.
3. Select from the list of **Credit Review Requests** and review the information.
4. Choose **Approve** or **Deny Credits** to complete the task. You can also choose to send a message to the requester with the decision. If you deny credit, the original requester must create a new credit request to submit again.

## **Illustrated Guide**

**Step 1:** Select **Credits for Approval** in the **Manage** section of the main menu.
