The Connecting Link and CMU
Central Michigan University has an alliance with The Connecting Link (TCL), an educational training company that offers a wide range of professional development classes for educators. Through this alliance, K-12 teachers are able to enroll in TCL courses and earn three hours of graduate-level credit through CMU.
You will find that TCL is offering a number of courses in Michigan this
summer at cities across the state: Ann Arbor, Farmington Hills, Flint, Grand
Rapids, Kalamazoo, Livonia, Midland, Saginaw, Southfield and Traverse City.
CMU off-campus classrooms will be used for classes scheduled in Flint, Grand
Rapids, Lansing, Livonia, Saginaw, Southfield and Troy.
To learn more about The Connecting Link and the courses available to teachers in Michigan, or to register for a course, please visit TCL’s Web site at: www.connectinglink.com.
Four Easy Ways to Register for a TCL Course
TCL offers four convenient ways to register:
- By Web at: www.connectinglink.com
- By phone with TCL at: (888) 550-5465
- By mail: Complete the TCL registration form in the TCL catalog and mail to: The Connecting Link, 5126 Ralston St., Ventura, CA 93003
- By fax at (805) 654-0738
CMU Credit Registration
Three hours of CMU graduate credit is attached to each course. Your registration to CMU will take place on your first day of class. An overview of the process follows:
- You will receive a CMU credit registration packet from your TCL instructor on the first day of your class.
- You will need to complete the credit registration form and the graduate admission application and return both pieces of information to your TCL instructor. Note: If you are already a CMU graduate student, please consult with your academic advisor prior to enrolling in a TCL course to ensure that the course can be applied to your program plan.
- TCL will send completed registration materials to CMU for processing and admission.
- Tuition for the CMU credit is inclusive of the TCL course fee.
- Grade reports will be posted on the CMU Portal at portal.cmich.edu.
Credit Relevance to Recertification
The CMU graduate credit awarded for TCL courses is designed for use toward professional certificate renewal, rather than provisional certificate renewal leading toward professional certification.
