Distance Learning requires technological support. The NY Conference provides that support for its students; we ask other UCC Conferences and participating denominations to provide that support for their students ($69 per course or $133 per semester). When students outside the NY Conference register, we recommend that they ask their UCC Conferences or denominations to contribute the distance learning support fee (payment can be made at www.uccny.org: click on donate button and specify "DLSF" with student's name on the NYSOM line). If no wider church support is available, the Distance Learning Support Fee is the student's responsibility.
Registration Deadline: August 10, 2015
