 How do I register and pay for courses?

Participants wishing to attend a Teaching and Learning professional development course must first visit the Protraxx registration system at http://pd.nycoit.org to sign up for the course.  After a participant has signed up for a fee-based course, the course request will appear in the school’s FAMIS home page under “PD Requests” and Principals and Purchasing Secretaries will be able to select the course and create a purchase order at that time.  Participant enrollment in professional development courses will be confirmed once payment has been received, and enrollment will be confirmed on a first come, first served basis.  Please note that schools will no longer be able to pay for a course in FAMIS until the registration step has been completed.

 Additional information on this registration and payment process is available at http://pd.nycoit.org.  Questions can be directed to oit@schools.nyc.gov.
