Reporting Workshop Completion to TEACH Online
Workshop providers will report your completion electronically to the Office of Teaching Initiatives. It may take several days to a few weeks for the workshops to be posted to your TEACH account. Check with the workshop provider to find out when the workshop completion will be entered. You can check your TEACH account regularly to see when the workshop is entered by going to the Workshops section of your Account Information page (go to TEACH Home → Account Information → Workshops).
Please Note
The information you submit to the workshop provider must be an exact match of the identifying information in your TEACH account (SSN, date of birth, full name). You are responsible for verifying the information in your TEACH account and making sure that it matches the information you submit to the workshop provider. If it does not match, this will delay the processing of your workshop. If you have questions about the information the workshop provider has on file, you must contact the provider to make sure that they can submit your workshop correctly.
