How to Register for a Course

The Norfolk County Teachers Association (NCTA) offers three graduate credit professional development online courses in the Fall, Spring and Summer.  

REGISTRATION IS A TWO STEP PROCESS

Step one:  Students must register on the NCTA website to obtain CRN#, PRDV# and course title. Make full payment for course(s) when registering with NCTA.

Step two: 

• NCTA students, taking Fitchburg State courses for university credit, need to register online for their courses with Fitchburg State by the registration date given to them by NCTA.

• Directions to register for Fitchburg State courses. 

• First-time users must create a student account by submitting a Non-degree New Student form.  Your university credentials (username and password) will be emailed to you.  You only need to go through the “first time non-degree student registration” process once.   

• If you are a returning student, meaning you already have a student record with Fitchburg State (i.e. have been admitted into a degree, are an alum, took courses with us in the past, applied to FSU, but did not attend, or otherwise have earned credit from FSU), you cannot create a new student record (you aren’t new☺). If a student needs assistance logging in, please contact the IT Helpdesk at helpdesk@fitchburgstate.edu  or call (978) 665-4500 for guidance.

• Once your student account has been created and you have set up your multi-factor authentication, you then go to My Falcon  to register for your courses. 

• Step-by-step course registration tutorial. 

•  NCTA will give you the five-digit course number (CRN) that you will need to register for your course.  (on the registration page)

• DO NOT pay Fitchburg State University when you register for your courses. You will pay NCTA Fitchburg State will invoice  NCTA for payment.

Policies: There are no late registrations. Refunds granted only for courses that are cancelled.
