My organization wants to register several people to take a certificate program. What's the best way to register a group for a CE certificate program?
We recommend that each participant reviews the program schedule and requirements and registers themself individually. Whoever is organizing the group and/or providing payment for the group should contact the Office of Continuing Education by email to coordinate payment. If you are planning to register a large group, we strongly encourage you to set up a call with the Office of Continuing Education to discuss your interest and needs.
Am I certified after completing this continuing education certificate program?
No. This certificate program is not a certification. It provides participants with a curriculum that supports more intensive study in a particular specialty area. Our certificate programs are not designed to be certifications for performance of particular jobs or tasks.
If I am getting assistance from an employer or organization in paying for a continuing education certificate program, can they make the payment directly to you?
Yes, please contact the Office of Continuing Education by email ([email protected]) or by phone (734-763-5723) to discuss the payment process.
I do not have a webcam with a microphone on my home or work computer. What can I do?
You do not need a high-end webcam in order to participate--there are decent webcams for as low as $20.00. You can plug in most webcams by using an USB port and downloading the software for that particular webcam.
You might also want to consider getting a headset with a microphone, which can help minimize background sounds and improve the quality of your learning experience. Headsets are not required but many participants find them helpful.
How is this continuing education program evaluated (e.g., graded)?
In order for participants to complete (e.g., "pass") the certificate program, they must complete all listed requirements, which includes receiving a passing score on quizzes/post-tests and completing evaluations. The quizzes/post-tests include a few multiple-choice and true-false questions that cover the course content. The certificate itself is not graded: Participants either complete or do not complete.
Does this continuing education certificate program provide 1098-T tax forms?
1098-T tax forms are not provided for CE programs. Participants should talk to a tax advisor to determine if there is an appropriate way to claim their CE program payments.
Do I need special equipment for this continuing education certificate program?
Students will need access to high-speed internet and a computer with a webcam for live Q&A sessions with the certificate leader and other participants. Instructions for accessing the course website and orientation information about course technology are provided prior to the course.
