CTA Registration Process
Registration for 2025 is not active. Please check back in the Spring 2025.
Administrators, teachers, and paraprofessionals employed in a public school in Virginia are eligible to attend the CTA. You will be requested to provide a valid school email address on the registration form.
To cancel your CTA registration and avoid a cancellation fee, you must email CTA@jmu.edu three weeks prior to the event. A cancellation call or email received May 31, 2025, is subject to a $50.00 cancellation fee. A no-show to your registered academy may result in a $50 cancellation fee. Once registration information is provided to the university, food, lodging, and venue space is secured for our guests. Please help us be responsible stewards in our sustainability efforts for food and lodging by honoring the timeframe for registration cancellations.
Information will be provided here Spring 2025.
Yes, you can register for an additional academy ONLY if the academies do not overlap on any of the days they are held.
No. Registrations must be completed during the live registration period. We are not able to accommodate walk-ins or late registrations due to required conference deadlines and planning.
Each academy provides the opportunity for participants to receive a stipend payment for attending and actively engaging during the entirety of all morning and afternoon professional learning sessions within each academy. Attendance is actively monitored. Eligible participants will receive an email before the CTA to complete required paperwork including the COVA W-9 form, and optional Zelle Deposit form. Participants can anticipate receiving the stipend(s) by the end of October.
There is no cost to register and attend the CTA.
Yes, dorm room lodging is available on JMU’s campus. If you elect to stay on campus, you will be assigned to a double occupancy dorm room during the time you are an active academy participant during the CTA. During registration you will be asked to provide a roommate’s information (this roommate must be actively attending a CTA academy during the same days you are requesting a room).
- The person you list as your roommate will be emailed to confirm the roommate assignment.
- All parties must complete the CTA registration to secure an academy seat. However, only one of the two people rooming together should complete the double room occupancy roommate information.
- NOTE: You are only permitted to stay in a dorm during the days for which you are registered for an academy.
- You will be allowed to check in after 4:00 the night before the academy start day and must check out on or before 12:00 on the last day of your academy. IMPORTANT: If you register to be housed in a JMU dorm room, you must check-in during the check-in times listed in the CTA Participant Packet you will receive via email.
- If you do not provide a roommate name and information when you register, CTA staff will choose someone for you to stay in the dl occupancy dorm room.
- You can upgrade to a single room occupancy for a $13.00 fee per day. You will be offered this option during registration as rooms remain available. If single rooms are available and are selected, a credit card payment will be collected at the time of registration.
Yes. One person from your division or school building may register multiple people. The person who registers the participants will be the one receiving all communication from CTA. The contact person will need to forward every registered participant their CTA event information. To make registration easier, the person creating the registration(s) should have all necessary information for all parties on hand. For example, your name, contact information and will overnight, double room occupancy in a JMU dorm room be selected and if so, who is the roommate and what is their contact information? In order to add additional participant registrations, select "add a new registrant" and complete the new registration information. It is important for the person who created the registration(s) to forward confirmation email(s) to the each registered participant(s).
Yes, you may enter your contact information here and if spaces become available, you will be sent an email.
