2. 2005 Continuing Education & Training Paper Catalog Now Available

Having trouble viewing our on-line catalog? Maybe you just like the feel of a book as opposed to reading from a computer screen. Now you can have our 2005 catalog in print. If you already haven't received a catalog, you can DOWNLOAD a copy in Adobe Acrobat v5.0 format directly or visit our website or call/e-mail our Registrar, Bonnie Wilson at 732-235-9450, ophpregistrar@umdnj.edu, to request one or more be mailed to you and your facility. Remember to include your full address when making your request. (limit 5 catalogs per person per request)

3. On-Line Course Registration & Payment System

It has been six months since the inception of our web-based catalog and registration system. As expected, it is a great success! With hundreds of new and returning users, the system continues to offer the ease-of-use and security you have come to expect from today's internet technology.

We developed this system in response to the increasing demand for a faster, more secure and convenient method of registration. You can register and pay for ALL of our courses, seminars and other events on-line without needing to call or fax information. Once a member of the system, you will be able to query personal information on courses/events attended in the past, and those you are scheduled for in the future.

To ensure the highest level of security and confidentiality, we are hosting the site on a secure server that is registered and certified by VeriSign (you'll see the certifcate confirmation on the payment page, and the closed lock on your browser). We accept Visa and Mastercard, but we can invoice if you prefer.

Please join us as we continue to improve our services to better your training experience!
