twelve
weeks and follow a prescribed progression. The course numbers are EDCI 552
through EDCI 559. Those accepted into the program can access the courses they
are registered for at
http://webct.montana.edu/. For descriptions of the courses please

Confirmation of registration will be emailed to students the in the week
preceding the course start date.
Registration
Registration for NPTT courses occurs online through the
Extended University

Payment
NPTT incoming students are expected to submit
their payments in full at the time of registration and adhere to all applicable
Montana State University and Extended University policies (http://eu.montana.edu/credit/policy.htm).
Those NPTT participants who were admitted prior to the
2007-2008 academic year, who accepted scholarships will have their licensure courses
paid for once. Please note that this scholarship is no
longer available to incoming students. Should a student fail a course, withdraw
from a course after the point where there is no tuition refund or for whatever
other reason need to retake a course, it will be at the student's expense.
Payment for courses associated with the requirements for the master of education
degree only (i.e. beyond those required for licensure/certification) are
the sole responsibility of the student.
Dropping a Course
It is the student's responsibility to be cognizant of the
courses they have registered for, their progress in those courses, and the

course with no grade and dropping a course with a "W" (withdraw) are dependant
on course length. Extended University administrative policies
regarding drop dates can found at
