b.  You must submit the Campus Choice form in Task Stream giving your three campus choices by the deadline given above. (Please see the instructions on the Campuses page.) Majors currently enrolled in TECA 1318 & EDUC 2301 are given first pick of assignments. Majors enrolled in other courses are assigned on a first come, first served basis. You are always given your first choice if it is available, then your second, and so on. Do not submit your form until after the participating campuses are posted.

4.  the principal's name, phone number, and email address
