Team Three Answers to FAQ’s:

• Audio Visual Equipment:
  
  Projectors, VCRs, monitors, etc., can be reserved by calling the Instructional Media Center (IMC) at 353-3960. A 24-hour notice is required. The IMC will deliver the equipment to the classroom and set it up, at no charge to the instructor or the team. In addition, a digital camera and a laptop projector are available from the Team 3 office for short term use (3 days max, please); stop by the Team 3 office for an Equipment Check-Out Form.
  
   

• Book Orders:
  
  Books for your courses are to be ordered through Diane Venzke ONLY, each semester. Diane is located in 313 Erickson Hall or by phone at 432-4930 and is not available during the month of July, so please plan accordingly. Desk copies for course instructors can be ordered by contacting the publisher.
   

• Class Lists Access:
  
  Paper copies are no longer available. Web access is http://www.msu.edu/service/clist/
  Please refer to “Registrar-class lists” handout.
   

• Course Location Changes:
  
  We must be able to locate your class in case of an emergency. If you will not be meeting in the location published in the university schedule, you must notify the Team Three office and Patricia Hampton, the Department Supervisor (phampton@msu.edu), in 321 Erickson Hall (353-6413). Please provide the team office and Patricia with a schedule of the days you will be meeting in a field location or in another room on campus (a computer lab, for example). If there is a change for any reason during the semester you must notify both Team Three and Patricia Hampton. If you have special needs or concerns about classroom availability, please contact a coordinator.
   

• Mailboxes:
  
  If you do not have an existing faculty or graduate student mailbox, one will be provided in the Team Three area (347 EH). Please check with any of the Team 3 support staff for its location.
   

• Photocopies:
  
  All copy machines in Erickson Hall are secured and require a copy code and password to operate. Please see Arnetta Cage in 301B Erickson to obtain your copy code and password for any Teacher Education Department accounts or grants. The machines available on each floor are intended for small jobs or copying out of bound material only.
  
  Photocopies for Team Three classes should be charged to program code 11-4373-3008. Copies cost 3 cents in the Copy Center, located on the fifth floor (515 EH), and 5 cents at the smaller machines on each of the other floors. It is more cost effective, and convenient, to use the Copy Center for 25 or more copies. They are also able to create CDs with your materials or scan your material to a website which the students would then access. A copy request card must accompany your order, which is located in the Copy Center or at the office in 347 EH. (Pink cards are for immediate orders and yellow cards are for non-rush orders). The College of Education requires instructors to use technology instead of hard copies whenever possible. Any copy request made of The Copy Center that totals 500 or more pages must first get written permission from the Chair of the Department of Teacher Education (however, those teaching for more than one department should get different codes and permission from each department).
   

• Phone Call Reimbursement*
  
  To be reimbursed for long distance phone calls to Interns and Mentor Teachers, submit your phone bill (original, not photocopy) to Scherrie Kilgore. Highlight the calls for which you are requesting reimbursement and write the name of the person you phoned next to the charge. Normally, reimbursement is only available for calls made from ordinary telephones. If you wish to be reimbursed for emergency calls made from a cellular/mobile phone, you must also submit a written explanation of why it was necessary to make the call from this phone.
   

• Parking Passes, Permits and Tickets
  
  Short-term parking passes (2 hr., 4 hr., and all day) are available for off-campus staff. For special circumstances (guest speakers, etc) please contact the Team 3 office. The University will not reimburse you for parking permits or parking tickets.
   

• Reimbursement Policy*
  
  MSU will reimburse individuals who use their own funds for legitimate University business purposes. There are limits and restrictions; please contact Scherrie Kilgore if you have any questions.
   

• Supplies
  
  There are supplies available in one of two areas on the third floor. The supply room located behind the copy machine on the third floor is available to all course instructors. THEY ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE SUPPLIED TO THE STUDENTS IN YOUR COURSES. The supply cabinets are locked at all times, therefore you will need to get the key from one of the Team 3 support staff. The supply cabinet located toward the back of the third floor offices are specifically for Team Three administrative needs. Please see one of the Team Three support staff for items that you are either unable to locate or need to have ordered (please allow 3-5 business days to receive your order). Any supplies that you personally purchase for course instruction, within reason, may be reimbursed (see Reimbursement Policy).
   

• Syllabus
  
  Department policy requires a copy of every syllabus to be filed with the department. Upon completion of your course syllabus, please email a copy, as an attachment, to kilgore@msu.edu . Your electronic copy is necessary in order to be included on the Team 3 website. The support staff will forward one hard copy to the department and an additional copy will be kept on file in the team office for reference by other team members. FYI: Syllabi for all Team 3 courses from the previous year are also available.
   

• Travel Reimbursements*
  
  If you visit Team Three Alliance Schools in connection with courses you teach for Team Three, you may submit a travel voucher for reimbursement. The voucher is located on the Team 3 Website under “forms” and all areas of importance have been highlighted. Please, to avoid a delay in processing your voucher, please enter all of the information in these areas. The Team Three Support Staff will process expenses on a monthly basis. Always enter your mileage from campus, not from your home or other location, even during breaks. Submit the form within 5 business days of the end of the month and your travel reimbursement expenses will be calculated according to University guidelines.
