Information on the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund is available at:

If you are interested in applying for a TLEF grant, you should work with the head of your branch/division because of the need to focus on resources, sustainability and how your proposal would support the Library’s Strategic Plan. Budget information in applications must be accurate. Please consult with Darrell Bailie regarding any potential systems costs.

Timelines:

The Centre for Teaching and Academic Growth will present a TLEF workshop from 12 noon to 1:30 pm in their Seminar Room. No registration is necessary but space in the room is limited so you may wish to go a little early.
