                       REGISTERING

The back page of each GLU catalog has the form for both the
instructors and students registration.

After the class is published in the catalog and 
students register, this student information, name and phone
number, is passed on to the teacher.  In fact the day they 
register for the class the teacher is called on the phone. 
The facilitator is then requested to contact the student, 
when they can,and tell the student any information like 
the location of the class etc.


Instructors
The GLU catalog is self explanatory on how the prospective 
teacher can get a class published in the catalog.  Often times
people will need to call and get additional information.  This
is usually a very simple process of turning them on to the 
upbeat idea of teaching.  

Often times there is a need to supply a list of low or no cost
places that people can use to do their instructing.  GLU can 
more often then not answer most questions over the phone. 

It has been found that when people require a "get together" to
carry on some sort of discussion about GLU stuff that the 
caller is usually not serious.  Sounds odd but that is GLU/Sea
experience to date.

Names and phone numbers of the instructors are not published
in the schedule.  Names can be published if the instructor
wishes.  When students and others call about the class for 
general information GLU can either hand out the instructors
phone number or not.  If the teacher decides not to have their
number public GLU will take the number of the student and 
pass that on to the teacher and they can then call the 
person that needs additional information.

Students
The students will often times fill in the form correctly by 
following the instructions provided with the form.  There are 
those that can not understand the process.  They will call for
further details.  Funny they are usually not serious either.

Often times the students will wait until the day of the class to
register for a class.  This can be difficult situation. Each
person offering classes through GLU must be asked in advance
how they want to deal with this. Obviously if the class is full
the student can be put on a waiting list if the instructor 
is offering the class again. In most cases the instructor can
accept the folks that want to show up at the last minute.  Of
course GLU might not get its registration fee.
