New Process to Withdraw From Courses We are excited to share a new process which allows students to withdraw from classes. We ask that all withdrawals be made at least one business day in advance of the class in order to allow other students to attend. For example, a class that begins at 8:30 a.m. on Monday would require a withdrawal by 8:30 a.m. the Friday before. Here is a link to a video explanation of the process. Here are written instructions of the process: To Withdraw from a course · Go to the web site www.keanfiresafety.com. · Click the Log In button (Log In button is in blue box at top right of keanfiresafety.com home screen.) · The next page you will be directed to is: www.keanolt.ourclassroom.net (background photo is Newark, NJ.) · Login to your account. · Click the down arrow at My Courses and you’ll see a dropdown menu that include the course(s) in which you have Registered/Enroled. · Click on the class from which you want to Unenrol/Withdraw. · Click the Cog (box with gears icon) to the left of My Courses. · Click the picture of the Cog that is on the next screen. · Confirm that the course showing on the screen is indeed the class from which you’d like to Unenrol/Withdraw. · Click the link that reads “Unenrol me from (class name). · Click the Continue to confirm the unenrol/withdraw.

We now have a CEU Matrix available for the zoom classes. Click on CEUMatrix in the drop down menu under Course Brochure. Please note that not all classes listed are available, all of the time. For two and a half hours of instruction the credit amount is .25, for five hours of instruction the credit amount is .50 This blog and the CEU Matrix are the official guides for ceu credit due to the potential for error in the brochure and other class listings. Please note it can take 4-8 weeks for credit to be entered. Certificates are mailed after credit is entered. Please check your status at www.nj.gov.

To access regional exam results, please follow these instructions: Login to your authorized myNJ account at www.nj.gov Click on the Firefighter’s Certification System link You will then be directed to your Personal Information page. Your score is displayed under either the CEU Completed or Current Certs buttons. Try both until you find it.

Rosters are credited approximately 4-8 weeks after the class. Please be patient, if you don’t have credit after 8 weeks then check with us. You can check status by logging into your myNJ account at www.nj.gov. Also, further note, the OLT account, where you register for Zoom classes, DOES NOT currently provide official information on your credit status. Do NOT worry if it says “not complete” or any other similar message. This platform is not currently being used to track credits.
