EGA Correspondence Course Information

• Correspondence Courses are open to all EGA members.
• Participants work together or individually to learn new techniques, and the course fee is divided among them
• Participants purchase their own course booklets and other supplies
• At least two supply sources are provided with every course.
• Some students may have difficulty in finding and working with some of the unusual materials featured in Correspondence Courses. These materials have been included because they provide a variety of options for a student's own work.

A coordinator is appointed by the chapter president to act as a liaison between teacher and students. The coordinator orders booklets and arranges to have projects sent to the teacher and evaluated projects returned to students. For this service, the group coordinator is charged no fee for the course but does purchase a booklet and supplies.

EGA members-at-large may also form a group, appoint a coordinator, and share in a Correspondence Course. Any individual member may register for a Group Correspondence Course and will be responsible for the entire course fee.

We hope you will enjoy the new courses introduced both on the website and in the published Education Catalog. Courses are continually being developed.

Fees

The course, text, and approximate supply fees are listed with each of the course descriptions. The course fee is shared equally by participants, excluding the group coordinator. Each participant, including the group coordinator, purchases a text and supplies

Shipping

Specific instructions about shipping Correspondence Course pieces outside the country are included in the text from any teacher living outside the U.S.
