Benefits for Cooperating Teachers

Tuition Vouchers

Approved teachers participating in the College Credit Advantage Program can earn up to 3 credits for each eligible College Credit Advantage Program course title taught at their high school (this does not apply to multiple sections of individual courses). These credits can be used to take graduate-level courses at Adelphi University.

Approved teachers of the College Credit Advantage Program who accrued tuition vouchers before Fall 2018 will not be able to use previously earned tuition vouchers towards graduate courses at Adelphi.

Approved teachers will receive 3 credits per individual course taught (up to 6 credits per academic year); credit vouchers will expire if not used within 18 months. The Director of the College Credit Advantage Program will track the accumulation and expiration of credits.

• Tuition vouchers can only be used by the approved teacher, supervisor, dependents and staff within the teaching facility for graduate courses; vouchers cannot be transferred or sold.
• Approved teachers cannot apply tuition vouchers towards more than 6 credits per semester or a total of 12 credits per academic year.
• To utilize these credits, approved teachers will be responsible to apply for and gain admission to Adelphi, pay a one-time application fee, and pay technology fees, individual course fees and any late registration fee(s) incurred.

High school teachers should contact the Office of College Credit Advantage Program to obtain a tuition voucher letter which is then presented to the Cashier’s Office prior to course registration.
