Community College Registration Information

Potential Community College Students

Many teacher education programs in Florida may elect to offer the FOR-PD course for undergraduate credit. A list of participating community colleges 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 community colleges, 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.

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

How to Register a Community College Section

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

1. Download the registration file (Microsoft Excel). [Download Link]



2. Complete the community college information, course details and participant portions of the registration file. All of the information 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 forpdreg@mail.ucf.edu. FOR-PD will notify the instructors of login procedures and will also send student's login information by 5:00 pm EST on the first day of classes.



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