| No, there is not a need to come to the campus. | |||
| Can I take my course from more than one computer? | |||

| Can I take more than one course at a time? | |||
| Yes. However, remember that each lesson takes approximately two hours, so you need to budget about four hours per week per course to allow time to do your lessons. | |||
| Do I need a username and password? | |||
| Not from Durham Tech. You will create your own username and password when you request a registration form for your class from http://www.ed2go.com/dtcc. | |||
| What happens if I go away on vacation for a week or get behind? | |||

| Can I take an online course using a Macintosh or iMac computer? | |||
| Only if stated in the course requirements area. To get to your course requirements area, please follow the instructions for the question “What software do I need to take a course?” | |||
| How do I register? | |||
| Please review the Ed2Go Registration information. | |||
| How much do the courses cost? | |||
| Most Ed2Go courses will cost $75; a few certification courses will cost $110. Because these courses are self-supporting, no tuition waivers or exemptions are allowed. N.C. Senior Adults who are 65 or older will need to pay course fees for Ed2Go courses due to budget cuts. For each Ed2Go course, you will be awarded 2.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) upon successful completion. |
|||
| What else do I need to do to get access to my course? | |||
| If you requested a class at http://www.ed2go.com/dtcc, you will be emailed a registration form and added to a class roster. A separate online orientation is required for each course you take. If you are taking more than one class, then you must fill out another registration request so you are added to your second class’s roster! | |||
| What do I do if I lost my registration form? | |||

| Because these courses are self-supporting, no tuition waivers or exemptions are allowed. NC Senior Adults who are 65 or older will need to pay course fees for Ed2Go courses due to budget cuts. | |||
| Will I get a certificate? | |||
| To be eligible for a certificate, you must take the final exam and you must receive a grade of 70 or above on your final exam. Once you have passed the class, it is your responsibility to print the online “Letter of Completion” before the classroom closes. The online completion letter can by found by logging into your classroom:
The “Letter of Completion” is far more detailed than any certificate we could send you and should meet your needs. | |||
| What if I need a certificate for teacher recertification? | |||
| These courses have been approved by Durham Public Schools for hands-on technology license renewal credit. Each course is 2.4 CEUs. Durham Public Schools accepts Ed2Go completion certificates as proof of CEU completion. Please check with your administrator if you have any concerns.
If you are a teacher from a school system other than Durham Public Schools, please contact the appropriate individual in your school system to verify if renewal credit will be accepted for these on-line courses.
