It is the sole responsibility of the student to obtain prior approvals for both professional development in-service or graduate courses from their district before registering. NYCTD is not responsible in any way for courses that are not approved or accepted.
All of our graduate level courses are created for Professional Development purposes and are not part of a degree status program.
Your PayPal receipt also serves as your confirmation that you are registered in a course(s). A copy should be retained for your records.
Students registered for online classes will receive a welcome email on the morning of the start date which provides access to the course(s).
In order to obtain/request an official transcript you must register for professional development graduate credit.
Official Transcripts: After completing a course for professional development graduate credit, PLEASE do not order an Official Transcript prior to receiving two emails from University of Massachusetts Global. The first email will include a username and student ID for an account in UMass Global’s system. Your will have to activate this account, if it is the first time your account was created. If you order an official transcript before your grade has been posted from University of Massachusetts Global, this will result in a “hold” on your transcript. An Official Transcript can be ordered only after you receive the second e-mail that states your grade for that particular class has been posted. Usually it takes approximately two weeks after the end date of the course for your grade to be posted. Please review your unofficial transcript to be certain it is complete before ordering your official transcript. UMass Global’s transcripts are cumulative. For more information please click Transcript Requests on the homepage of our website.
After the end date of a class taken for in-service credit, a certificate of completion will be mailed to each participant in duplicate when all course requirements are fulfilled.
After the end date of a class taken for NYS CTLE credit, a certificate of completion for NYS CTLE credit will be mailed to each participant when all requirements are fulfilled.
If an inservice or NYS CTLE certificate needs to be replaced for any reason there will be a $14.00 replacement fee. Replacement certificates can be ordered by logging into your student account.
Switching your registration from graduate to in-service is not permissible, but switching from in-service or NYS CTLE to graduate may be done prior to the start date or within two weeks after the course has started.
All courses are 3 credits / 45 hours, whether taken for professional development graduate level, in-service credit or CTLE credit.
Participants are responsible for any bank charges due to returned checks.
