The Module 1 Fall Session is open to however many students register and then satisfactorily complete all the assignments by at least two weeks in advance.
Students who wait until closer to the Fall Session to complete the assignments might still be admitted, but only at the discretion of the Instructor of Record.

The Module 2 Winter Field Sessions have a maximum of five students.

The course fees comprise three different components, payable separately:

1. Include a check payable to "NSP- Eastern Division": either $7.50 for National Ski Patrol members or $15 for others.
2. Include a separate check payable to Jonathan Shefftz to cover instructor costs: Module 1 = $85, Module 2 = $225, Module 3 = $50.

Also budget for paying on your own for cost of the required reading.

Finally, if all of the above information seems too complicated and difficult to follow, then you should take an avalanche safety course from a different provider.
