Feb+21+Email+-+Registration

Hello all,

COETAIL is fast approaching and we now need to ensure proper registration and document submission to begin the program. I will try to be brief, but there is much to share. Reminder that all of this info will be posted on the COETAIL WikiSpace page should you misplace this email.

This item is **listed first** for a reason as it often takes considerable time to get all the materials together before sending them off. Though the complete application packet does not need to be submitted before the 3rd COETAIL session begins, it can take upwards of 4 months to finalize so **__please__ __plan__ __ahead__** and begin the process now**.** All participants must register with SUNY. There is a $50.00 application fee that must be submitted with this registration. The most cumbersome part of the process will be getting all of your academic qualifications submitted to SUNY. If your qualifications come from an American educational institution that uses the Grade Point Average (GPA) system, then gathering the supporting documentation should be relatively easy. If your university degree is from another country then this process will be more onerous but rest assured not impossible. The documentation should be submitted in what SUNY calls an APPLICATION PACKET. There is a Student Checklist (attached) that should be checked before sending this application packet. Please take the time before March 5th to go through the documents (attached) you need to complete your enrolment. Many will need to be printed out in order to be filled. Some documents are just for your info and are very lengthy, so please read before printing.

 * Please note that when SUNY speaks of the Certificate in Educational Technologies they are referring to COETAIL (Certificate of Educational Technology and Information Literacy)**

All participants need to pay the full amount for each course before its session begins. For this first course, the anticipated costs will be approximately 15,000 baht per person. This will cover all course fees to SUNY, including your individual $18.00 ‘programmatic course fee’. It will NOT, however, cover your $50.00 application fee. Please do so by **Wednesday March 2, 2011** at the latest. The details of how to make your payment will be forthcoming. I hope to have that information for you within the next 48 hours, but I wanted to get much of this information to you today to get some of the paperwork started (hence the subject of this email is Part I).

 * __March 5th Session:__**

Our first class begins on March 5th at 9am. We will likely go until 4pm. Food options will be forthcoming in another email. For now, please reply to me if you are interested in having an outside provider of food and snacks. The costs of this food will be in addition to the course fees. People interested in bringing their own food are permitted to do so. The lunch break will likely be a ‘working’ break that consists of watching a relevant video while eating. This allows us to finish the day earlier as a result.

Hope everyone is as keen as I am to get started.

Cheers,

Ivan
