SUBJECT: SUS Regional Admissions Workshops

 

  

Staff members of the Board of Governors and the State University System Admission

Directors cordially invite you to attend one of the regional admissions workshops

scheduled around the state in fall 2006. Eight universities will host a workshop for their

region. In addition to the university Admission Directors, representatives from the

Department of Education will be participating in the workshops. This is the twenty-

first year for these regional workshops and attendance in the past has been excellent.

 

We strongly encourage you to participate in these workshops and join us in our efforts

to improve our service to the citizens of Florida through education. The intention of the

workshops is to inform middle and high school guidance counselors about the

philosophy, various policies, and procedures involved in transitioning through the K-20

system. With that understanding, guidance counselors will be better equipped to meet

the needs of their students during this critical transition time. There will be time

allotted to allow guidance counselors the opportunity to ask specific questions about

admissions and other related matters.

 

The locations and dates in the attached schedule were planned to make the workshop

accessible to educators across the state. Please tell your counselors that due to budget

restraints, refreshments will not be provided.

 

Make plans early and register as soon as possible because some sites fill up faster than

others. You may refer to the attached schedule of workshops to determine which site

will be the most convenient for you to attend. Once a workshop reaches maximum

capacity, participants will need to register for a different site.
