IMPORTANT NOTES:

Data Matters 2026 will be held virtually. Attendance is required as it is our policy to NOT record any of the course sessions.
You can sign up for NO MORE THAN ONE CLASS PER BLOCK (for no more than 3 classes TOTAL).
The Odum Institute is pleased to offer courses now eligible for Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits administered through the UNC Chapel Hill William and Ida Friday Center. 10 contact short course hours = 1 CEU credit hour. CEU Transcripts are accredited by SACS COC. If you wish for your Data Matters course(s) to be eligible for CEU credit, please choose the course with the CEU option. The CEU processing fee, in addition to each Data Matters course fee, is $10 for each course and NON-REFUNDABLE. CEU credit cannot be added retroactively. Within 45 days of completion of Data Matters, you will receive an email from the Friday Center with an FID number. Use this FID number to login to the Friday Center to request your CEUs.
