On Advance Day 2021, Provost Brian Schmisek announced that Saint Mary’s University will be investing in its faculty by providing a $1,000 stipend to all instructors who complete three levels of our Online Instructor Certification course (Introduction, Intermediate, and Advanced) in fiscal year 2020-21 (ends May 2021).

You can read more about the certification courses and register for them at the CELT Online Instructor Certification page.

Right now, all February courses are full and we anticipate March’s introductory course will be full as well. Registering for any of these courses on the CELT site’s form will put you on the waitlist, and as space becomes available, we will gradually register people first who are first on the waitlist. You will need your dean’s approval to register for the certification courses, including courses starting in March at all levels.

We anticipate being able to offer the courses on the following schedule:

  • Courses starting February 1: Introductory, Intermediate, Advanced
  • Courses starting March 8: Introductory, Intermediate, Advanced
  • Courses starting April 5: Intermediate, Advanced
  • Courses starting May 3: Advanced

Further sections are planned and will be announced via Cardinal Update and the CELT site.
