Clock Hour Certification

Participants can earn certificates for up to 30 Clock Hours of Continuing Professional Education for full attendance at any of the week-long CARLA summer institutes, or up to 6 clock hours/day for the three-day institutes. Certificates are requested on the last day of the institute and are sent out within 2 weeks of the end of the institute.

Graduate-Level Credit Options

Most of the CARLA summer institutes are available for two graduate-level credits at an additional cost through the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) or College of Liberal Arts (CLA). The Transitioning to Teaching Language Online-online course is offered for three graduate-level credits.

 

International participants are currently not eligible to enroll for credit for in-person institutes because of INS regulations, unless they are matriculated into a University of Minnesota program. International participants may take online courses for credit if they are not in the U.S.
