The Office of Teaching and Learning offers a variety of accredited and non-accredited programs and certificates for faculty, instructional staff, sessional instructors, and graduate students at the University of Guelph. Collectively, these programs and certificates provide a variety of opportunities to acquire new skills, gather peer-based feedback, and discover a network of like-minded individuals within our institutional community. Below is a list of our current programs and further details.
All programs are free for faculty, instructional staff, sessional instructors, and graduate students at the University of Guelph, including Guelph-Humber and Ridgetown campus.
The above programs may not be offered every year or may change in goals, scope, or format from year to year. For descriptions of each program, follow the links above. Note: The ISW is a pre-requisite for the FDW. All other programs can be completed on their own or in any combination.
