If no units are currently available, your liaison--following campus policy--may purchase them on your behalf or may recommend that you or your department purchase them. If you or your department chooses to purchase program units for your use, please make the purchase and register for this program by sending an e-mail message to participate@nitle.org, including the program title and your name, job title, and e-mail address.
