Program Dates: Spring 2025 Term

Summer 2025 OPTIONAL Office Hours
For active, current participants, a member of the SISEP Team will be available for optional, drop-in Office Hours in the Summer 2025 Term. These will not count towards your “CoP attendance,” but are meant to serve as a support for participants who may have questions and would benefit from live support from the Micro-credentialing Team during the “summer term.” Calendar invites were shared with active participants; additional email reminders about these sessions will not be sent.
