University Registration Information

Potential University Students

Many teacher education programs in Florida may elect to offer the FOR-PD course for graduate or undergraduate credit. A list of participating universities can be found on the FOR-PD web site along with contact information. If you wish to take the FOR-PD course through one of these universities the contact listed can provide information about when the course is offered, tuition fees, and registration. Please note that the process and requirements may vary from institution to institution.

University Registration Process

This document provides information necessary for universities and community colleges to provide information to the FOR-PD project when offering the course for credit.

A university faculty member or adjunct will facilitate the course. This instructor/facilitator is assigned by the university and will meet any individual university requirements. The instructor/facilitator must also be a certified FOR-PD facilitator or show proof of training in online learning at their university. For more information contact our Facilitator Specialist at forpdfac@mail.ucf.edu. Facilitator criteria and applications are available online. The university instructor/facilitator will be compensated by the university offering the course, not FOR-PD.

How to Register a University Section

Registration information should come from the university to the FOR-PD office and includes these easy steps:

1. Download the registration file (an MS Excel template). [For Windows / For Macintosh]
   PC users will need WinZip and Mac users will need StuffIt to decompress the file.



2. Complete the university and participant portions of the registration file. All of the information requested is required for participants to take the course.



3. Indicate the beginning and ending dates for the course.



4. Registration files are due at the beginning of the add/drop period. Email the registration file to riscott@mail.ucf.edu. FOR-PD will notify the instructors of login procedures and will also send student's login information by 5 PM on the first day of classes.



5. During the first week of classes (add/drop period) the university instructor is responsible for updating the class roster and sending updated information to the FOR-PD office. Email these changes to riscott@mail.ucf.edu.



6. The instructor is also responsible for notifying FOR-PD about students who withdraw from the course at any point during the semester. Please send this information to riscott@mail.ucf.edu.



7. Within a week of the course end date, the instructor should send to FOR-PD an updated class roster that includes which students successfully completed or did not complete the course.
