COURSE DETAILS
1c. Course Title *
You have been given the title for this course in your confirmation email, but you may revise your originally submitted title. 

Course titles should be meaningful yet brief. That can be as simple as High School Biology, but you may be more creative as long as your title (or subtitle) conveys the general idea of the course.

Required by our registration system.

2a. AGE RANGE CONFIRMATION
You have been given the age range for this course in your confirmation email.

PHS volunteers strive to create a balanced schedule that ensures there are multiple options for all our student each class period, so please do not ask to switch a class from High School to Middle School or vice versa but you may ask to refine (switch from Secondary School to High School) or extend (switch from Middle School to Double Digits).
  • All PHS students must be between the ages of 10 and 19 on the first day of class.

2d. Additional information about your physical space needs.
LEAVE BLANK IF NONE.
  • For on-site storage requests, if you did not do so when you submitted the Course Proposal Form, please describe the supplies you hope to store on site and the space needed to store them.
3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS COURSE
The information entered below will be incorporated into your course description. You may have already provided some of this information as part of your course description, particularly if you copied and pasted your description from a previous year, in which case you do not need to repeat it here. But please read through these questions to ensure you have provided all essential information.

PLEASE DO NOT ENTER "N/A," "NONE," or the like. When a question does not apply to your course, LEAVE IT BLANK. (You may enter meaningful text such as "Open to all skills levels" for a course that has no prerequisites.)

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND A QUESTION, PLEASE CLICK THE PROVIDED LINK FOR AN EXPLANATION.
3a. Any planned absences for this course?
If you plan to not teach a full semester (whether that means starting late, ending early, or missing a week mid-semester), you must let students know before they sign up. Your dates of your scheduled absences will be included in your course description. Your tuition will be calculated based on your shortened schedule.

If you don't have the exact dates now, provide as much information as you do have and then be sure to update your Course Description as soon as the dates are set — before registration opens.

(Of course, unplanned absences such as illnesses and family emergencies also happen. You're not expected to know about those in advance!)

Learn more | I don’t understand this question | Required by Planet Homeschool when applicable. 
3b. Subject
ONLY ONE and fairly broad in scope. 

You have been given a best guess at the right subject in your confirmation email, but you may choose to revise it. 

The class registration system our co-op uses has a SUBJECT field that is used to generate a Course Catalog which is an alphabetical list of all classes by subject and course title (rather than by date, time, and location). 

We cannot suppress the Course Catalog, so we might as well make it as useful as possible. 

The registration system allows ONLY ONE SUBJECT PER COURSE. 
3c. Additional Information about course Subject
LEAVE BLANK IF NONE.
4. TUITION AND SUPPLIES FEES

Don't forget to account for PayPal fees.
