Registration & Payment

Payment Details

• Once you are accepted into CDI, the CTE will contact you to complete a brief registration form. Registration only applies to accepted participants and is separate from the application process.

• You will have approximately 2-3 weeks to submit payment through the CTE's payment portal.

  • Be sure to select 'Course Design Institute' from the dropdown list. The fee for CDI is $900.

• Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel and lodging (see this page for hotel suggestions).

• Up to five UVA graduate students may be accepted into CDI with expenses covered by CTE; this is contingent upon space and funding availability.

USING UVA'S EDUCATION BENEFIT

CDI qualifies for UVA's Education Benefit through HR. Funding requests are submitted directly by the employee to UVA HR through Workday.

• Full-time academic and Medical Center employees who have been employed at UVA for at least 12 months have $2,000 per calendar year available for professional development.

• Faculty who are not eligible for education benefit funding may qualify for a needs-based scholarship through the CTE, but we require written proof that the funding request was denied by HR.

  • The CTE requires that you apply for HR's Education Benefit even if you think you will not qualify.

• For additional details about the Education Benefit program, please see UVA HR's website.

Refund Policy

• Requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE).

• Credit card refunds are required to be made to the credit card account where the charge originated (not a pay voucher).

• A full refund will be given if the CTE receives your written cancellation at least two weeks prior to the start of the program.

• A 50% refund will be given if the CTE receives your written cancellation with less than two weeks remaining until the start of the program. After the program has begun, no refunds will be given.
