To enroll in this concentration, you must get admitted
to the University. Visit the School
of Graduate Study's Web site and download the application from the Forms
link. You will need to be admitted to the University first before registering
for classes. If you do not want to get a degree or declare a major, then you
will want to apply for admission as a Post Baccalaureate Student, PBS. The
application is also available at the Center for Distance Learning's
Web site.
Once you have been admitted to the University, then you should request your Personal Identification Number, PIN, from Dr. Childress after he has advised you on what courses to take. This happens during Early and Late Advisement. Once you enroll for courses, you will be billed for your courses. If you only make a partial payment of your tuition because of financial aide, be sure to get your bill validated at the Book Keeping window in the first floor of Dowdy Hall. If you only want to take online courses, you should visit the Center for Distance Learning, download their Course Agreement form, fax it to them, and make arrangements for paying your tuition.
Be sure to abide by the University deadlines.
They can be found on the University calendar.

of the portfolio is a requirement in most TECH and CUIN courses. Most of
your work that you do in your classrooms, through action research, and in
your courses will be included. Any work that provides evidence of your growth,
knowledge, skills, dispositions, and that helps you prepare for national
board certification should be included in the portfolio. Be sure to study
the portfolio rubric and get your portfolio established immediately. It can
