USM PDC Fall 2021 Course Registration
Thank you for your interest in courses through the University of Southern Maine Professional Development Center (PDC)! We offer courses and other professional development offerings to serve the PK-12 educational community.

NOTE: Some PDC courses are being offered for undergraduate credit. Most educational professionals (including teachers) will likely still choose to take courses for graduate credit for recertification and development purposes through their school district. Undergraduate credit is offered as an option for non-professionals or anyone else for whom graduate credit is not as important. Some courses are available in a modified format for CEUs. This is a more cost-effective option for tight budgets or for out-of-state students - $600 for 3.5 CEUs. There will be additional enrollment steps if you choose this option. You will receive more information via email.

See basic details in the form below and full descriptions of courses on the PDC website here: https://usm.maine.edu/pdc/fall-2021-courses

After completing the form you will receive a copy of your responses at the email address you provide. You will receive a follow-up email with next steps (as needed) and/or confirmation of enrollment. If you have never taken a course at any University of Maine System campus before, you may also need to provide a social security number to complete the new student registration process. You will be informed via email if this step will be necessary.
