# Approving or Denying Credit Type Reviews

Users with the **Approve Professional Development Credits** right can see notifications from pending credit item requests under **Credits for Approval**.

If your district has set up [approval requirements for certain credits](/v1/docs/set-course-credit-types) and for certain users, then the users’ external portfolio requests are sent to **Credit Type Review** first. There, you can see the credit type flagged for review, where you can modify the credit items and approve or deny credit.

## Quick Guide

1. Select **Credits for Approval** in the **Manage** section of the main menu.
2. Select **Credit Type Review** under **Credit Approvals**.
3. Select from the list of **Credit Review Requests** and review the information, including any flagged credit.
4. Choose **Approve** or **Deny Credits** to complete the task. You can also 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.

A flagged credit type request also appears under [**Credit Item Requests**](/v1/docs/approving-professional-learning-credits). The credit type reviewer must approve them first, and then the credit item reviewer can approve them.

Appraisal administrators [assign users as credit type reviewers](/v1/docs/set-course-credit-types#credit-review) under **Settings** > **Professional Learning Setup** > **Workshop Setup** > **Credit Types** > **Credit Review** > **Add Staff**. System administrators assign users the **Professional Development Approver** role in **Management** to make them **Credit Item Approvers**.

**Step 4:** Choose **Approve** or **Deny Credits** to complete the task. You can also 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.
