Courses are delivered and hosted across the university, as indicated by the course name. Click on the course title for course descriptions, modality, instructor information, pre-work and other important registration information.
Three units use the same learning registration system to track course attendance and certificate completion:
- Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE),
- Office of Office of Access and Opportunity,
- Division of Human Resources’ Organizational and Professional Development Office (HR-OPD)
The registration system houses your training record and allows you to register for events, track registrations and courses completed, receive reminders, cancel courses and manage your training account. Your account registration will work across all three of these units.
To access the training system, you will need to register for your first course, which will prompt you to create a new account. You will only be able to create an account by registering for a course.
