Home / Teaching and Learning / Online Teaching Recertification at º£½ÇÂÛ̳
Online teaching recertification helps faculty continue developing their expertise in digital pedagogy while maintaining compliance with systemwide expectations. At º£½ÇÂÛ̳, recertification options are designed for flexibility, allowing instructors to build on the foundations laid through the 8-week Online Teaching Certification Seminar. Faculty who completed their original certification five or more years ago are required to recertify before their current certification lapses.

Who Can Participate?

Recertification is open to º£½ÇÂÛ̳ faculty, instructors, staff, and graduate students who:

  • Have previously completed an approved online teaching certification program

  • Teach or support online instruction

  • Need to renew certification before the 5-year window expires

Prerequisites

To enroll in a recertification option, instructors must have completed initial online teaching certification through one of the following:

  • UM System Online Teaching Certification Seminar

  • ACUE Online Teaching Badge

  • Online in 9

  • Online Teaching Foundations
