Only EPC your school or library\u2019s\u00a0 EPC Account Administrator can create a new User. \u00a0If you\u2019re unsure who is your EPC AA or if they need assistance in creating a new User, contact USAC at 888-203-8100 for help with that process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Training Audience\/Dates\/Times\/Registration:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"156\"><strong>Target Audience<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><strong>Registration Link<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"156\">Schools<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\">Tuesday, Oct 6<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\">4:00 \u2013 6:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cciu.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJ0lfu6hpzIqEtN2ULOMlOWL65jCrqBfNgRm\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/cciu.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJ0lfu6hpzIqEtN2ULOMlOWL65jCrqBfNgRm&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1601855455681000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGQ-bOlLZb1RO2gxie4nLHZ8eqw6g\">Register Here<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"156\">Libraries<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\">Thursday, Oct 15<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\">2:00 \u2013 4:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cciu.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJAtdOGtqjgsGtH4mhfrpCCvWb1OkccxIl5p\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/cciu.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJAtdOGtqjgsGtH4mhfrpCCvWb1OkccxIl5p&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1601855455681000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGsQlGzOML3RcIDInkC_QaT-nLfCQ\">Register Here<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"156\">Schools<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\">Monday, Oct 19<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\">2:00 \u2013 4:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cciu.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJIrdeCrpzgrGtOMhSMDDiZ8758TTj4WdwNL\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/cciu.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJIrdeCrpzgrGtOMhSMDDiZ8758TTj4WdwNL&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1601855455681000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFH3AZm4OXxsh_2l1CW8-sXVTWeTQ\">Register Here<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>If you have any questions about the training, please let me know.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing new E-rate faces in the next few weeks!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Julie<\/p>\n<p>Julie Tritt Schell<br \/>\n717-730-7133 &#8211; o<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:jtschell@comcast.net\">jtschell@comcast.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.e-ratepaorg.local\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.e-ratepaorg.local\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1601855455681000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFu3LixExoT3crdN10yYdO8H1ovVQ\">www.e-ratepa.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=eratepenn\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 24, 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-listserve_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32640\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
