Courses submitted will be processed 2 weeks. If any additional information is needed, an email will be sent. 

Course owners are responsible for monitoring courses and renewing a course after a three-year time if applicable. A course renewal will create a new course ID. An instructor may request to expire a course at any time. 

When renewing a course, review all the course detailed information to make sure the information is correct and complete. Be careful to look for special characters such as  that may appear due to the data transfer from the previous The PD Registry. 

If minimal edits need to be made to a course, The Pennsylvania Key staff will make those changes, and the course expiration can be extended three more years.  

Email registry@pakey.org with information regarding the edits needed for a specific course, including: 

  • Course Name 
  • Course ID# 
  • Owner 
  • Information that needs to be edited 
  • Course expiration extension request 

 

*A Pennsylvania Key staff member will advise the instructor on creating a new course if necessary.
