New Program Upddate - MSN-FNP

Information is now available at the UT TeleCampus website for UT El Paso’s Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner. This high-demand degree program prepares graduates with academic and clinical expertise for assuming responsibility for promoting, maintaining, and restoring health to individuals and families across the life span. (Like the Ph.D., this program does require some on-site visits as noted on the web pages.)

Disability Services Contact Page

A Disabilities Services page was added to the UT TeleCampus website. Students who have or suspect they have a disability requiring accommodation can find contact information on the page for the campus offices for students with disabilities. Any student who needs accommodations should contact their host campus office for students with disabilities as soon as their enrollment has been confirmed. If you have any questions, contact Terry Barksdale at telecampus@utsystem.edu.

Faculty Workshop

The four-week facilitated faculty workshop is offered each fall and spring semester and is provided for both new and experience UT TeleCampus faculty members. Registration for the spring 2010 workshop, which will run from March 22nd through April 16th, is now open online.
