Dickinson Public School Courses
Registration enables you to obtain credit for educator professional development classes. All courses are being offered for Professional Development Graduate Credit (EDUC 2000) through DSU. Graduate-level professional development courses are not eligible to count toward a degree. Admission to DSU is not required for enrollment in a Professional Development course, and enrollment does not ensure admission to DSU.
NOTE: No refunds following the first day of class. Retroactive credit is not granted.
To register for RESP CLASSES, go to: resp-k12-education.org. To register for DPS CLASSES, please contact the instructor for each class.
