Lending Library Reminders!

Lending Library--New Procedures!

Have you been lucky enough to participate in the lending library?  If so, pay CLOSE attention!  The procedures for borrowing books has changed!



Beginning July 1st, the Teacher Education Program will be taking over the Lending Library from the Title V Co-op grant. Effective IMMEDIATELY, there will be NO more books lent out for the Summer 2011 term.

All books currently checked out from the Lending Library MUST be returned to the TEP Office no later than 4:00pm on August 12th. Students who do not return books to the TEP Office by 4:00pm on August 12th will NOT be permitted to borrow out books for the Fall 2011 term, no exceptions.

New books for the Fall 2011 term will be lent out during the week of August 16 - August 19 ONLY between 8:00am - 4:00pm. Students may borrow books for up to two courses. The TEP Office will determine which books will be lent out to students based on the supply of books in the Lending Library. TEP does NOT guarantee any books for our students nor do we guarantee students will receive the maximum two courses worth of books allowed, this will be determined by the supply of books in the Lending Library.

Become a Tutor!

Why Can't I get My Placement?

The School Board of Broward County is going through many personnel transitions.  The district offices and individual schools are losing staff, administration and most importantly teachers.   The status of the district impacts the placement process for field experience.  At this time all placements are on-hold.  You will receive a placement for your course(s) but the placements will not be finalized until August when the schools and the district are more stable.

We know this may cause you some stress but we are working very closely with the district to facilitate the placements and will continue to do so.

We will keep you posted on all developments!

Financial Aid Orientation

Does Financial Aid Have Your Head Spinning?!?
These orientations are designed to assist you in the financial aid process, teach you how to navigate the FAFSA and BC F/A websites, and allow you the opportunity to speak to a F/A advisor after the workshop for a question and answer session.  These orientations are strongly recommended for any student pursuing financial aid, and would be appropriate for anyone who has at least filed their FAFSA, but has not yet been awarded.

These sessions will be offered at all three campuses. 
South will be offering our sessions every Wednesday, for the next five weeks, from 5-7 pm, in the testing center. 
7/20   
7/27   
8/3     
8/10  
8/17

North will have Thursday, time TBD, and Central will have Friday, 2-4.

So pick a date and make sure that YOU have you financial aid straight! :-)
