Stipend eligibility & requirement:
Stipend information & eligibility are listed next to the title or description of the workshops/trainings. If you’re not clear, ask the presenters/moderators.
- Stipends are available thanks to strategic investment funds and accompany the redesign of our training program as part of our Bold Innovative Growth project.
- Part-time instructors (including Academic Non-Credit instructors, NOT Community Ed instructors) are eligible to receive up to $100 in stipends per term for completing eligible ITS training sessions. Instructors will receive a $50 stipend per session for attending up to two (2) full live sessions. Payments will be calculated and processed at the end of the term. Session Attendees must complete a post-training survey.
- Note: Only attendance at a full live training session is eligible for the stipend. Sessions noted with “not eligible for stipend” or others, such as Info session: Term Readiness with ITS Team, Lunch Q&A with ITS Team, Sneak Peek of a new feature, PCC Online Learning: Open Lab for Instructors, etc., are not eligible for the stipend.
