In cooperation, the three lead public institutions in the state of North Dakota are providing the opportunity for organizations to apply for attached professional development credit (PD credit) for their professional development offerings. The multi-campus PD credit process enables organizations to offer the participants of the proposed event the option to select and register for attached PD credit from one of the three cooperating credit granting institutions. To seek approval for professional development credit related to a multi-speaker event (i.e. conference) or course sponsored by a ND agency or organization, click on one of the links below to select a liaison university and to complete the multi-campus proposal form for your event. That institution’s liaison will serve as your representative and communicate with the other cooperating institutions the logistics and details of your event, including registration processes, which eliminates your need to make application with all three institutions. It is very important to read this document carefully. Proposals require attached information and will not be considered for credit if necessary documentation does not accompany the proposal form. It is recommended that this form and all attachments be submitted to one of the institutions no later than 30 days prior to the conference/course start date. Each institution will inform you of approval or disapproval of credit. All marketing for your event should indicate the following: "professional development credit is pending until official notification of approval." Proposals must include 15 clock hours--900 total minutes of direct instructional time per credit, not including social activities, meals, breaks, travel time, etc. Instructor of RecordThe instructor of record is the individual designated to ensure the integrity of the professional development offering as an academically rigorous activity. The instructor of record must hold an advanced degree (Master’s or above) and provide a vita/resume that includes name, current title, current address, phone/fax/e-mail, highest degree earned and field of study, related professional/work experience, topic(s) to be addressed, and any other relevant information
About PresentersThe presenters are expected to provide quality educational experiences for participants. Presenters are encouraged to possess a master’s degree or higher, (a multi-speaker event must have 75% of instructional time provided by individuals with a Master’s degree or higher) however a bachelor’s degree may be accepted based on level of experience, accomplishments, and subject matter expertise. Each presenter is required to specify their degree level & related field of study, and their experience or training in relation to their presentation topic.
