NNU offers Professional Development courses in several formats. Separate listings follow for various categories including ASCD online courses and Home Study courses offered on CD. We are excited to offer the option for Continuing Education Credit for distance learning courses as we believe the flexibility offers educators excellent Professional Development alternatives. Course beginning and ending dates for most distance learning courses are set by the student.
*Full payment is required at time of registration for online and home study courses. You may withdraw from Professional Development classes if you do so prior to the end of the course. No refunds are given after the beginning of a class. You may not withdraw after the course end date.
*Full payment is required by the first class for all campus courses.
A course pre-registration deadline is a minimum of two weeks prior to beginning of the course. (Please check individual course listings for modified pre-registration dates.) At that date the instructor shall decide whether to teach the course for the number of pre-registered students or request that the course be canceled. Additional registrations will be allowed on a space available basis up to the first day of class for courses not canceled. Be sure to pre-register early to guarantee the course or courses in which you would like to participate.
Students are required to pay at least $75 or one-half the cost of the course when they preregister for a campus course. (Please check individual course listings for modified pre-registration deposit amounts or deadlines. Any additional course fees will be applied to the cost of the course.) If a student drops the course after the pre-registration deadline the registration fee will be forfeited. If NNU cancels the course, course fees will be refunded.
Grades and Transcripts
An official grade report is mailed to the Continuing Education student from the Registrar’s office at the end of each course. Grade reports for Continuing Education courses are an official transcript. Grades will be posted to the permanent transcript at the same time.
Additional transcripts may be requested online, or by writing the Registrar's office. Include address, birth date, signature, place of birth, Social Security Number, the last course you took, and the complete destination address of the transcript. NNU does not charge for transcripts.
Students' Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) guarantees eligible students:
* The right to inspect and review education records
* The right to seek to amend education records
* The right to have some control over the disclosure of information from
education records
* The right to file a complaint with the Department of Education against
any institution for an alleged violation of their FERPA rights.
Records are defined as any information in any form.
