SUNY CPD programs are for skill and knowledge development in various instructional technologies/software, and teaching and learning areas. These are usually held in the form of conferences, workshops, online events and trainings.
Points will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Any additional fees required by the participant will be noted at registration. Before requesting to use CPD points, employees should seek funding from other sources including departmental funds, union grants, program scholarships, etc. Priority will be given to individuals who have not previously received points during the current academic year.
See the SUNY Center for Professional Development Calendar of Events for a complete listing of professional development opportunities.
