How can I register for a non-credit offer?
After you have identified the offer (e.g., course, workshop, conference, etc.) that you would like to attend, click here to access the online application/registration form (or copy and paste the following link in a Web browser: https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=COL-TCNC).

Within the first three drop-down fields of the application/registration form, there are options to select the relevant offer. Then, there will be a series of registration questions followed by the prompt to submit your payment.


What is the Apply Yourself Application Network?
Teachers College Office of Admission uses the Apply Yourself Application Network to facilitate the admission process. Because Continuing and Professional Studies is a component of the Teachers College Office of Admission, the same online application system is used.

It is important to note however, that the application for the Office of Admission and the application for Continuing and Professional Studies are two entirely different applications. Being admitted/accepted into one, does not constitute admission/acceptance into the other.

If you are interested in taking classes for credit and earning an advanced degree, please visit the Office of Admission's website for more information.

Should I create a new account when I want to register for another non-credit offer?
Yes. Each time you would like to register/apply for a different non-credit offer, a new account/PIN must be created. This will help ensure we can better track your registration for each non-credit offer.
 

Where can I see a list of all of the available non-credit offers?
The list of all available non-credit offers is available on the CPS home page (to the right of the screen/beneath the rotating images). You can view the offers by category (e.g., certificate programs, conferences, etc.) or you can view all by category or by date.

New non-credit offers are added on a regular basis, so we encourage you to check back as often as you can. If you are interested in being added to our email distribution list, click here.


What is the CPS policy for non-credit withdrawals, refunds, and cancellations?
