All benefit-eligible faculty, academic staff and support staff have access to elevateU.

Approach this like any other class, book or video. Have a conversation with your supervisor about the best way to handle professional development efforts. Looking up something in a book or watching a 5 minute video doesn’t take much time and might help you do your job better. If you plan to take a longer class, check with your supervisor about time, unit coverage, etc, just as you would if going to an instructor led class off site.
