ONE GRADUATE CREDIT HOUR THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER AVAILABLE TO CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS

Once again, CoTESOL conference attendees have the opportunity to register for one graduate credit hour through UC Denver’s School of Education & Human Development. The credit can be applied towards recertification or other credentials or programs, depending on the individual attendee’s specific district/program requirements (e.g., for Highly Qualified Teacher). Attendance both days of the conference earns the one credit, which appears on a UCD transcript as LLC 5835: Special Topics: CoTESOL: Local Practice and Global Trends.

A one-page registration form can be filled out and dropped off right at the conference. The $50 tuition payment is made online after UCD processes your registration. Look for the UCD sign at the registration desk on Friday morning, November 13, 2009. An assistant will help you with your questions and steps, and provide you with any forms you may need. Questions? You may contact CPE@ucdenver.edu or call 303-315-4985.
