Important Reminders:
Due to precautionary measures related to COVID-19, the Teacher Education Services Office (TES) staff will not always be in the office, but are available remotely. Please email celliso6@montevallo.edu.
UM students, faculty, and staff should use UM email when contacting the Teacher Education Services Office. Also, the TES webpage may contain the answer to your question.
The current ever-changing and challenging situation may cause some delay in services. However, the TES staff are committed to helping students complete their degrees and all our students successfully complete this semester. We will get through this together!
