Instructions for How to Create Continuing Education Courses

How to Create an ED S593 Course

Are you an instructor looking to create an ED S593 Continuing Education course with UAS? You've come to the right place! 

All proposed course pedagogy should be geared towards continuing education for Alaska's teachers, and be taught in such a way that helps, assists, enriches, and instructs course curriculum content creation of Alaskan teachers. Please contact Shannon Vantrease at 907-796-6050 or email sdvantrease@alaska.edu with any questions, or for more information. 

The following documentation will be required for all course proposals to be considered (only one type of Course Proposal Packet is required). E-signature is fine for all submissions: 

• ED S593 Course Proposal Packet 2022 (.pdf)
• ED S593 Course Proposal Packet 2022 (.docx)
• Co-Sponsored Course Agreement Form* 
• Syllabus: syllabus should include required elements in the UAS Faculty Handbook
• Copy of CV of Proposed Instructor (if not previously submitted; must be updated every 1 year)
• Please note when creating your courses, the last class is the last day for an assignment to be due; that is, final assignments cannot be due after the date of the last course.

*Consistent with its accreditation, UAS may grant credit for a university-level course that is co-sponsored by various organizations with which UAS has an ongoing relationship. A “co-sponsored course” is one for which most or all of the costs of instruction are borne by some agency or organization other than the University, and the academic integrity of the course is ensured by the University. Entities interested in proposing a co-sponsored course should use this form as a requirements guide for approval of UAS co-sponsored courses.
