Presumption of Update: In the past, when we have called for next year's applications, the presumption has been that we would not update unless requested to. From now on we will probably update.
We must have your application installation materials by the end of April. Materials received after the end of April are unlikely to be included. If your application materials won't be available by then (e.g. not released yet), at least notify us as soon as possible with the details of the application and when we can expect the materials to arrive. This might be sufficient to allow us to include it.
Please provide us with your materials as soon as you have them, to give us the maximum amount of time to work on them. Don't wait until August.
People assume that if an application works on their own computer, or if it worked in Teaching Centres last year, that it'll just work. These are not safe assumptions. Teaching Centre computers are very different from staff computers; also, even if your application is the same version as it was last year, many other things will have changed. Applications, and Windows itself, interact in unexpected ways.
So, each summer, we set up a test Teaching Centre with next academic year's proposed configuration and ask you to go there and test the applications you use. This is a chance to discover problems early, so there's time to resolve them before the start of the academic year - and before you find yourself standing in front of a class!
Some departments have so many applications unique to them that we also have a few satellite test stations in other centres. If you have come here from an email calling for testing in one of these departments, check your departmental list first. If your application is installed in a departmental centre, understand that where the instructions below refer to CTL-6-Purple, you'll need to go to the appropriate satellite test stations instead:
Also check the list of reported issues. Someone else may already have reported a problem with one of the applications you are interested in. There are lots already!
Below is a layout showing how busy CTL-6-Purple currently is. Stations coloured green are available; stations coloured red are in use. (It will not update by itself; press F5 to refresh it.)
