Your e-mail address is very important; without a correct, working e-mail you'll never get any of our information on the class, including when it's scheduled. Worse, your class(es) could be outright rejected! So check it, and please make sure it's right.
Modern and SCA names are nearly as important. If you don't use an SCA name, just put your modern first name in the "SCA Name" box.
Please use titles you've earned in SCA contexts (Royal awards).
Similarly, please use the Kingdom of your current residence, or that you play the most in -- and if you don't know what that is, feel free to ignore that box.
Address or phone number are not required; we know many of you have issues with giving such data out, and understand your concerns. Phone numbers can, however, make communicating with you possible if your e-mail address is not functioning for some reason and we have a need to get in touch with you. Please be assured that if you give it, any such data will be kept in strictest confidence.
Please run your text for the title and class description through a spell checker, and read through it for grammatical and factual errors before submitting. Keeping your class descriptions to 40 words (or fewer if at all possible) is important for fitting into the book. Longer descriptions will be edited by the University staff, so please keep it short and well-written!
If you are working with a group that schedules classes, such as the Heralds or the Middle Eastern groups, please make sure to choose them via the "Type of Class" option. It will make the process of getting your class to the right people much more simple. Otherwise, use the "General Class" setting.
If you are listing co-teachers, please put a comma between each name.
There are camps that regularly allow and encourage classes, and Pennsic University allows their use as long as all parties understand that the Pennsic University staff has no responsibility or liability for classes taught in camps. Along those lines, if a class has traditionally been taught in a private camp, the University considers that sufficient reason to continue that tradition until and unless a new situation arises.
Please also remember class policy #1:
NO child-oriented classes in private camps. Minors attending classes of any
type in a private camp must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Teachers must be understanding and reliable regarding under-18 children in their class. If you as the instructor think any sort of trouble will arise in your camp due to the presence of minors, you are strongly encouraged to restrict your class.
In the "Itemization of Fees" section, simply list precisely what the students get for their money. This makes it crystal clear what is required to take the class. If there are additional items the student is expected to provide/bring, please include them in the class description as well.
Note that the final number of additional classes you teach is based on the numerical choices in the first section ("1, 2, or 3"), and not the number of check-boxes on the calendar in this section.
If you wish to teach at different times on different days, note the days & times under the "Other Comments" box in the next section.
Please note that some options, like Fire Pits, are highly limited and regulated.
Easy!
Again, thank you so much for offering to teach! We look forward to thanking you in person at the War.
