Professional Development: Tuition Rates, Withdrawals and Grades

IMPORTANT NOTICE-Read before registering for graduation credit!

Depending on your state's requirements, you may be able to use the CMU credit for professional development programs to meet certificate renewal or state continuing education requirements. Since acceptance varies by state, educators should contact their state's Department of Education to verify the course will count toward licensure/certificate renewal before enrolling for credit. If you wish to apply the credit toward an advanced degree, consult with your academic advisor to verify the course will apply to your program.

Your Global ID

CMU, as you will need them to register for courses and access your grades online!

Set up your Global ID

Log on to https://myaccount.cmich.edu and follow the prompts to set up your global id and password. As a new student you have 30 days to set up your global id and password. If you have previously taken classes, or if 30 days have passed since you first registered, a password has been automatically set up for you. Please contact the CMU Help Desk at (800) 950-1144, ext. 3662, or via e-mail at helpdesk@cmich.edu to find out your password and have it reset.

Requests for withdrawals and/or refunds for site-based classes must be submitted in writing to Central Michigan University, E&PD, Off-Campus Programs, 802 Industrial Drive, Mount Pleasant, MI 48858.

You may also fax requests for withdrawals/refunds to (989) 774-1188.

Grades

After your course ends, you may access your grades on the CMU Student Portal at http://cmich.edu/portal/portal_welcome.asp. You will log in with your global id and password.

The Family Rights and Privacy Act does not allow us to release a student’s grade to a third party without a written request.

Incomplete/deferred grades

In the event you are unable to complete requirements for a course and you receive an incomplete or deferred grade, your instructor will need to complete a Statement of Requirements for Removal of Incomplete or Deferred Grades. This form will outline the requirements and timeframe for you to complete the course work and obtain a grade. The University Incomplete Grade Policy states that an incomplete grade not removed within one year shall become the student’s final grade.
