Transient and Concurrent Enrollment and Teacher Certification
|
Transient or concurrent enrollment exists when a student's approved program includes training at more than one institution. This usually occurs when a student is enrolled in prerequisite courses for transfer to another institution.
|
To be considered for transient or concurrent enrollment, a student must first be enrolled at St. Petersburg College (SPC) as a non-degree seeking student and enrolled in an approved program at his/her primary institution. To begin certification at SPC, a Transient Student Letter listing the courses needed at SPC that will be accepted toward the veteran's degree program at the primary institution, must be on file in the SPC Veterans Affairs Office. Since cross enrollment requires both institutions to certify the student, a delay usually will occur before paperwork is processed and benefits paid.
|
TEACHER CERTIFICATION |
Veteran benefits can be paid toward a teacher's certificate if the student has never had a certificate or has a certificate in one subject or discipline and now needs a certificate in a different subject or discipline. VA benefits cannot be paid for a certificate renewal.
|
VA students applying for a certificate should write to:
|
Florida Department of Education
Teacher Certification Section
2325 W. Gaines St.
Tallahassee, Fl 32399
|
The applicant will receive a letter specifying what course work is needed for the particular teacher's certificate. The student must submit the teacher's certificate letter to the Financial Assistance Services (FAS) office to be certified for the courses listed in the letter.
