Experience Matters
The University of St. Francis has been empowering educators for over 100 years. Today, we proudly continue to serve those who serve others. What separates us from other institutions is our ability and willingness to customize offerings to meet the evolving needs of today’s educators.
A pioneer in online learning, USF offered its first online courses and degree programs in 1998. More than 20 years later, our engaging online format balances quality learning experiences with flexibility and value. Dedicated educators have filled over 50,000 seats in courses offered through USF's REAL program since its debut.
Minooka CCSD 201 Partner Program Overview
The College of Education is pleased to work with Minooka - area educators to offer reduced tuition for English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual Education courses through the REAL program.
Courses will run entirely online.
Course descriptions, requirements, and planned sequence can be found on the ESL Endorsement tab.
Registration Process
Registration links will be available on this site at least 90 days before the new semester.
Registration works best from a PC or laptop as varied mobile device settings cause issues for some.
Confirmation and subsequent communications occasionally get tangled in firewalls and placed in SPAM or junk folders. Be sure to take a look if you find you have not received confirmation of enrollment within three (3) business days of submitting your course registration.
