Eligibility and Enrollment Information
The Middle Grades Mathematics Series is designed for current middle grades mathematics teachers and for individuals who want to become certified or approved to teach middle grades mathematics but who are teaching at a different level or in a different field. It is expected that students enrolling in courses will hold a baccalaureate degree and be current or aspiring teachers. Students may use the SREB VESA application to enroll in the Middle Grades Mathematics Series courses if they meet the above eligibility and other requirements individual institutions may impose; e.g., prerequisite courses. Students must be admitted to an institution or participate through the SREB Visiting Student Program prior to enrollment. Each of the institutions participating in the Middle Grades Mathematics Series has admission categories, including degree and non-degree classifications. If you are currently admitted and enrolled in a degree program at an institution not participating in the Middle Grades Mathematics Series, you may be able to enroll as a "visiting" or "transient" student. Links to each institution and their application and enrollment procedures are available below.
SREB Visiting Student Program The SREB Visiting Student Program, or VESA (Visiting Electronic Student Authorization), streamlines the admissions/registration process to the Middle Grades Mathematics Series online courses in the Electronic Campus. It provides a convenient way for qualified students to be certified for enrollment in selected courses at participating institutions. There is no charge to submit your online VESA application, which can be completed in a matter of minutes. (Once you have completed the application, you have only a few steps to complete the process to be cleared to register and enroll in courses. An SREB VESA allows you to enroll as a visiting student at participating institutions. You will be required to follow all institutional procedures for registration, payment of fees, and will be governed by all academic policies of the institution. VESA Requirements To be eligible to participate in the SREB VESA program, you must hold, at a minimum, a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution. Students must provide to SREB an official or unofficial transcript from the institution that awarded their degree. The transcript must match the name and/or social security number on the VESA application, indicate the degree award, date of award and field/major. Unofficial transcripts may be submitted by mail or fax and will be subject to confirmation by SREB. Guidelines Governing the SREB VESA Program Certification as an SREB VESA student does not indicate or connote admission to any institution and/or degree program. An SREB VESA student must complete the application for specific college or university and meet all admission requirements with a specific institution if a degree is sought. Credits earned as an SREB VESA student may be used to meet degree or certificate requirements. Institutions have final authority on the transfer, acceptance and use of any credits earned as an SREB VESA student. VESA students must meet all prerequisite course and/or eligibility requirements in order to enroll in a specific course stipulated by the offering institution. Students currently enrolled in a degree program with any institution are not eligible for the SREB VESA program. (Students may gain access to courses as "visiting" or "transient" students.) Students may use the VESA only at participating institutions and for specific courses at those participating institutions. VESA students may not enroll in more than 6 hours of course work in any term of study. Transcripts of work completed as an SREB VESA student are issued by the institution offering the course. VESA students are not eligible for financial aid, although some students may qualify for various other loan programs. For more information about financial assistance, visit the Financial Assistance section. SREB and participating institutions reserve the right to cancel participation in the program or to deny registration if any requirements or guidelines are abridged, information provided is found to be incorrect or fraudulent, or if the program is suspended or discontinued for any reason. SREB Visiting Student Procedures If you meet the minimum degree requirement, follow these steps to apply for and receive your SREB VESA: If you have not previously done so, establish an account on TheTeacherCenter Web site and complete the "profile" information. This information automatically fills in most of the online VESA application almost instantly. Individuals who have an account on any Mentor™ site may use that account. Complete the VESA application (link to application). Be sure that you have provided all requested information. Then hit the SEND button. The application will be forwarded to SREB automatically for processing.
