Question:
Are the Urban Ag lectures at specific times? Or do they simply need to be completed weekly? I work full-time and want to know how to manage coursework. Looking forward to this! ~ Holly V.

The online Urban Agriculture Certificate series is asynchronous. This means that there are no live lecture times and no specific dates or times when you need to be online. There are assignments due weekly that can be completed at any time during the week prior to their due date.

I live in Washington. Is this course fully online? Is this a stand-alone program or do you need to be enrolled or completed a bachelor's program? ~ Kim T.

The Urban Agriculture training is entirely online. You do not need to be enrolled in a Bachelor's program as this is a noncredit course, meaning you do not receive college credit upon completion.
Question:
This urban and city gardening program and its duration seem perfect for the farmers I work with. Is there a scholarship available? Or is there a way that an employer can register multiple people? Thank you for your time and consideration.
Answer:
Unfortunately, we do not offer any scholarships at this time.
Each participant in the course requires their own individual registration and login. If your program is willing to pay for multiple (or even only one) student(s) to take the course then there are multiple options to choose from: is an option that we can do:
1. We could set up a partner account for your organization. We would then take your payment via a payment link for the number of seats you wish to purchase. After the payment is verified, we would send you a code that you give to the students to enter on the payment page, which would reduce their payment by the amount you specified. We suggest this method if you believe that this will be a recurring instance of paying for employees to take a course.
2. Your students may begin their registrations and then you could go to their desk to add in a credit card at the payment tab.
3. Your students may begin their registrations and at the Payments tab, select the Save for Later button. At that time you could call us and give us a list of the students and you can pay for all of the students at once via a payment link we will email you and we will apply the payment to their accounts.
4. You may send us a PO or Letter of Intent for the students and the course(s) and we would then allow the students to enroll and send an invoice to you for their registrations.
