LAKELAND,
FL (November 26, 2001) - Have
you ever thought that college course work was out of your reach? Thanks
to a new limited time program at USF Lakeland, college course work is
easily available and, if you qualify, totally free. During the spring
semester, the College of Education will offer three “free”
undergraduate courses in Special Education. Students meeting the following
criteria will be eligible for a timely tuition reimbursement via a distance
learning grant:
- Student must be employed in a public school in Florida.
- Student must earn a "B" or above in the course.
- Student completes and submits required paperwork.
- Student must be working toward certification in Special Education.
While students must pay tuition up front, the reimbursement does not depend
on critical shortage funding and tuition will be reimbursed to students
meeting the above named requirements.
Three courses are offered as part of this special program. One course
entitled “Narrative Perspectives on Exceptionality,” is part
of the regular undergraduate program of study in Special Education and
is also an “exit course” which applies to any undergraduate
degree. “Education of the Exceptional Adolescent and Adult,”
and “Strategies for EMH” both apply toward V.E. teacher certification
in special education. All three courses have minimal amounts of face-to-face
classroom meetings with the balance of the course being offered online.
Additionally, all three courses are offered in the evenings to accommodate
the working student.
For more information on theses Special Education courses, contact Patricia
Fagan at (863) 667-7015.
Spring Registration for both degree and non-degree seeking students is
open until January, 11, 2002, however, degree seeking students should
be registered no later than the first day of classes, January 7, 2002,
to avoid penalty fines. Course schedules for USF Lakeland are now available
on campus, on our web site at www.lakeland.usf.edu,
or students may request by phone a schedule to be mailed directly to them.
While these are three special courses being offered next semester, they
aren’t the only classes available on the Lakeland campus. There
is one area of study right for you! With a broad range of class times
on a local, hometown campus, USF Lakeland has a degree program to suit
your needs. Contact the office of the Registrar at (863) 667-7000 to find
out how you can be part of the USF-Lakeland campus.
