EXCITING NEWS, NEBRASKA! We have a new endorsement pathway that involves a local state college - WAYNE STATE is now offering a high-ability learner endorsement starting in July. This is an 18-hour course that is fully accredited by the state! This is a cheaper option for teachers across the state! Here is the basic information you might need to get going!
SPD 596-00W0 5W1 Special Course: Intro to HALS. Then, the second class in July, students will register for SPD 696-00W0 5W2 Special Course: Supp the Soc/Emot/Guidance Needs of HALS. The registrar will take the rosters of each class and convert those classes to the correct course codes in August, once the new catalog has been published. Students will have the correct courses on their transcripts so no worries!

The two fall courses are up and ready for students to register for under the correct codes since the new catalog will be in effect for August. Those are SPD 605 and SPD 612!

Students should register for BOTH summer AND fall semesters on MONDAY, MARCH 27th at 7:30 am.
