CSSIA is pleased to offer continuing opportunities for faculty attending CSSIA's Faculty Development Workshops (FDW) to obtain graduate credit. Faculty can earn 3 graduate credits through the University of Illinois - Springfield by enrolling in an online course and doing some additional follow-up work (describing how you would integrate FDW knowledge into your programs). Tuition for this option is about $1200, and you would be responsible for paying your own tuition. Your institution also may have a tuition reimbursement program that would support this effort. The University of Illinois - Springfield has been offering graduate credit to community college faculty for events like this for 8 years with great success. For more information, go to https://edocs.uis.edu/tmims1/www/cssia/

PLEASE NOTE: Although there is no cost for the workshop, there will be a no-show fee of $500 billed directly to your institution for each registered individual who fails to cancel their registration a minimum of 5 business days prior to the first session of this course.
