Can I still register for a class after the “start date”?
All courses are independent study and self-paced. This means you can still register for a course after the “start date” as long as you complete the coursework by the course deadline. There are deadlines for each term, and these registration deadlines can be found on the registration info page.

How often do you offer your courses?
We offer our correspondence courses year round. We will mail materials to you immediately, regardless of which semester you register for. The University of St. Thomas and SCT Continuing Education Services are flexible with their registration procedures and work completion schedules.

How does a correspondence course work?
Correspondence or independent study courses are great for self-motivated learners who want to take a course without spending physical time in a classroom. Students enrolled in these courses do the work at their own pace and in their own settings. All work is sent to the instructor when completed in pieces or all at once. The instructor is available via email or by phone.

Will these courses count towards a lane change?
S.C.T. Continuing Education Services partners with the University of St. Thomas to bring you Graduate Continuing Education semester credit courses that meet requirements for license renewal and may be used for lane changes when prior approval has been obtained by the student from his or her district/employment personnel office.

Can I transfer these credits into a Graduate Degree program?
Any student seeking to transfer graduate continuing education credits into a graduate program at another institution is advised to obtain prior approval from the academic adviser and dean at that institution.

What if I need technical assistance during the course?
S.C.T. Continuing Education Services is dedicated to helping you become a better educator. We are interested in your questions and feedback, and will respond to your inquiries within 72 hours either by providing online assistance or by telephone.
