Your initial tuition bill may show higher tuition. Do not panic! The Delaware educator rate is sometimes applied manually after the bill is generated.
** Clock hours (Delaware DOE professional development): The Institute is free for Delaware public school employees (teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors, administrators, etc.), regardless of residence, when taken for clock hours only. You will not earn university credit unless you register for LING499/699 and pay the appropriate tuition. Private school teachers and educators outside the state of Delaware must register for LING 499 or 699.
Critical Needs Scholarship
The State of Delaware’s Critical Needs Scholarship is available to ESL teachers with emergency certification. Starting this year, the CNS can be applied to summer courses, up to a maximum of 6 credits per academic year. Please note that the CNS is administered by the Delaware Department of Education, not the University of Delaware.
Certification
Candidates for EL Teacher/Bilingual Education certification may take either LING 499 or 699 in lieu of one of their required courses, this year Literacy for English Learners (equivalent of EDUC 742). (Undergraduate tuition is lower but cannot be counted towards a graduate degree or certain salary step increments.) The course requirements are somewhat more demanding for 699. For information about earning a complete certification at UD, please consider the Additional Certification in ESL (ACE) program.
Registration
Registration starts in April. If you have any questions, please contact us.
