You might not have noticed the general squee coming from the Flist, but it's once again time to sign up for your Fall Semester classes! These sign-ups are for both returning and new students!

Please read the following before you start singing up:

Teacher and Student Class Expectations! The all important guideline for what is expected of the players in Fandom High. Please give it a once-over even if you've seen it in some form or other before - a refresher never hurts!

Japanese characters, please sign up in the Western style - given name then family name - to make our alphabetical OCDing easier.

The important and interesting part:

1) Students must sign up for at least 2 classes and may sign up for as many as 4. Additionally, no player may sign up for more than 8 classes in total (so if you have 4 students, they can have 2 classes each. 3 or 2 students, any combination of up to 8 overall, with no more than 4 per character).

2) For any classes that exceed their maximum numbers:

a. If you have two characters signed up for one class, one will be ousted (so make a note of which you'd prefer get in should this happen, if you have a preference).

b. Student characters played by the teacher of the class will also get ousted.

c. Students who have already taken the same class from the same teacher will also be eliminated.

d. If the class still has too many, it will be RNG'd; if you have been RNG'd out, we will let you know as soon as possible, so you can choose a second alternative.


3) If you're a TA for a class, you need to sign up for that class, and it will count towards your maximum of 4/minimum of 2, but the TA is not counted when determining if the class is full (full class = 20+TA). Also, your student character cannot be the TA for your teacher character. That's just silly.

4) If it's OOC for your character to take the workshop but you really want to take it anyway, just sign them up and we'll pretend it was an IG paperwork mishap. And blame the moose (it's always the moose).

5) If you sign up, you need to show up. Class attendance is how we keep track of your character's activity. If you repeatedly fail to at least sign in to classes, we'll have to contact you about it, and you could be asked to leave the game.

6) Class descriptions are subject to change at the teacher's discretion. Teacher's shape is subject to change according to Fandom weirdness. These are just facts of life.

7) Sign-ups are not first-come, first-serve, to be fair to people in all time-zones. Excess numbers in classes will be whittled down with the handy-dandy Random Number Generator.

And now we get to the Awesome part! Your class schedule can be found here!

Class sign-ups close at MIDNIGHT PST on August 30, 2009. (3:00AM on August 30th for EST people) No late sign-ups are allowed without extenuating circumstances or proper arrangements (so sign up early in case something comes up). If you don't sign up on time, you'll have to wait for the next semester to play, and that's a long wait.

Questions or problems, email us - administration(@)fandomhigh.net - or drop a question in the Questions thread down below. All questions about the meaning of life or how the leopard got his spots will, however, incur a cake, pie, or nudity fee for answering.

Completely taken from the lovely [livejournal.com profile] thatsamilkshake who is known to steal from the splendid [livejournal.com profile] justicebeat. Listen, I'm a teacher, we don't believe in reinventing the wheel.

YOU WILL WAIT FOR THE OCD OR UNFORTUNATELY NON-SEXUAL VIDEOS OF YOU, CHUCK BASS, AND AN OTTER WILL END UP ON YOUTUBE PING IN AT WILL! *G*

Newbie Shuttle!

Newbie time is almost upon us again, and that means it's almost time for the newbie shuttle! To steal borrow the explanation from the lovely [livejournal.com profile] wantstodirect:

Our local airport (BWI) has a Portalocity (interdimensional travel service) port and lounge. Students can arrive by either plane or portal and gather in the lounge until a bus from Fandom shows up to take them to the island. This is completely optional; your new characters are still welcome to arrive on the island in any manner you choose.

What we need: One new student character to put up the post and OCD, and at least one teacher or adult to drive the bus and greet the students. Traumatizing them before they reach the island is optional. The post should be made Friday night sometime between 4pm-6pm Eastern, but be set for Saturday morning (before the picnic).

Newly arriving students are welcome to join the post and get to know a few of their fellow newbies before actually getting to the island. New teachers are welcome to grab a lift as well. Check out the links above if you want to read previous newbie shuttle posts.

Questions? Volunteers?

ETA: Returning students are totally welcome to come on the shuttle as well!

Yeah, you're getting hit with lots of OOC stuff today but it's that time o' year!

NEW AND OLD TEACHERS, avert your eyes this way! It's time to sign up (or change) your office! The current list is here and, as you can see, we have a lot of vacancies! So, if you're a current teacher who would like to switch around, just let me know here! If you are a new teacher, comment and tell me which one you'd like! If I am a moron and I somehow have erased or missed your office, just let me know here! They layout is here (and yeah, it's a bit outdated but it still works to give the floor layout).

If someone has commented with the number you want before you got to it and you really want it, talk to them about it then let us know what the two of you decide.

Requests for room additions to incorporate hot tubs, mini-theatres with Dolby surroundsound, or indoor golf courses will, however, be fed to the giant squid in the duck pond.
