Take Note from Your Counselors:
-
March 1st is the last day for reporting your current semester coursework in order to get a DBA. Please remember that even though some technical colleges are running 8-week courses, we still need to know about all of the courses you are taking each semester so that the DBAs can all be done by March 1st.
- Please note: In order to be sure we are accurately billed by your college, you MUST let your counselor know if your class schedule changes (drop or add a class, etc.). The last name you use with T.E.A.C.H. should also be the last name you use at your college. If we have a different name on file than what you use with the school, your DBA may be discarded by the school, as they will have no student to whom to match it.

Reminder: Submit Your Fall Semester Grades |
|
Please submit your grades for the fall semester if you have not already done so. Your grade report must show your name, your school name, the semester, course names and grades. You can typically log into your online account with the school and download an unofficial transcript – they contain all the information T.E.A.C.H. needs. If you attend UW-Platteville for credential courses, you will have grade reports mailed to you. You can send T.E.A.C.H. a copy of that grade mailer. T.E.A.C.H. cannot accept grade reports that were cut and pasted into a Word Document or the body of an email. If you have questions on how to submit your grades, please contact your counselor. |

It’s Tax Time!
It’s that time of year when people are asking questions about taxes. So, here are the details! The IRS expects ALL income, including any bonuses you receive from T.E.A.C.H., to be reported when one files taxes. Centers are required to take taxes out of your bonus because it is taxable income. T.E.A.C.H. does not take taxes out of the bonuses we send. However, if an individual gets over $600 in bonuses and/or REWARD stipends from WECA, we send an IRS 1099 Form, which must be recorded on one’s taxes as “other income.” If you have questions, please consult a tax professional.
