What will I need to take the course? How will I join the class online/in person?

Our consultants will lead the courses remotely for those ONLINE, using Moodle (Manhattan University's learning management system) and Google Meet for live conferencing. Participants will only need an internet-connected device (computer, laptop, tablet, etc.), and we will provide the University Board's relevant Course and Exam Description e-binder to each participant in advance of the workshop via email. Detailed instructions and guidelines for taking the course remotely will also be sent to participants before the first session.

For our cohort IN-PERSON, you will receive your materials ONLINE as PDFs. Contact your professor to confirm your classroom room.
Can a participant only attend part of the week? Will there be a price difference?

No, the entire workshop must be attended to receive graduate credit or audit certification.
What is the difference between taking a course for audit or credit?

Participants must decide whether to take the course for credit or audit at registration. If your employer is paying for the course, please check with them before you make your decision. You cannot switch between credit to audit or vice-versa after the deadline. Check dates on our program information website.

At Manhattan University, participants can take the AP course for graduate credit at an additional cost. Suppose a participant chooses to take the course for credit. In that case, he or she will receive three (3) graduate credits in education and a certificate upon completing the course, denoting 45 hours of professional development. To request a transcript, follow the instructions here.

During the week of the Institute, consultants will assign separate projects to be completed in the course to receive graduate credit. Consultants will then assign letter grades to those participants taking the class for credit.

If a participant chooses to take the course and not receive graduate credit, we call this an audit. Upon completion of the course, the participant will receive a certificate denoting 37.5 hours of Professional Development. There is no extra project and no letter grade.
How can I switch my registration from credit to audit or vice versa? How late can I register?

Before the start of the Institute, please get in touch with our office at apinstitute@manhattan.edu, and we will make the switch. If you would like to switch from one session to another, the last day to switch is the last day of registration for each cohort.

How can I pay for the Institute? When does payment need to be sent/received?

All payments must be made to Manhattan University and addressed to AP Institute, and the student's name or student ID# must be in the note or memo section. You can select your payment method while registering through Manhattan University. Further instructions will be given on the confirmation page and in the email.

We accept credit cards, purchase orders, and personal checks. If paying by credit card, select this option during registration, and a link to pay will be sent to you within approximately one week. If your school will be paying your tuition through a purchase order and future payment, select the purchase order option during registration. Invoices will be sent out starting in March. You will receive an invoice from us to give to the appropriate person at your school. The school will then issue a purchase order or a form that guarantees payment. All payments or purchase orders must be received one week before the course starts. Purchase Orders are not payments but a promise of payment. The participant (not its employer) is accountable for ensuring the University receives payment.
What are my payment responsibilities as a participant/student?

Upon enrollment, students agree to be in accordance with all policies and procedures related to their financial obligation to Manhattan University. The student assumes liability for any debt incurred during his/her attendance at Manhattan University as outlined below, regardless of the source of payment. The terms of payment, withdrawal, and adjustment are set forth on the Advanced Placement Institute website and are incorporated upon enrollment at Manhattan University. Students are required to promptly notify the University in writing of any change in address, phone number, or other contact information. Failure to comply with the policies on address and telephone changes that result in the loss or delay of contact is the sole responsibility of the student. By providing my mobile number to the university, I provide express consent to be called on a wireless number via auto-dialer or prerecorded message and I knowingly release the wireless number to the calling entity and receive text messages for the wireless number provided and any future numbers.
