They assign you a teacher and he/she will e-mail you once you are officially enrolled. I don’t quite know what you mean by qualified, but you don’t have to apply for the program; you just have to sign up and pay for it. If you mean qualified as in how do you get grades, you take tests then send them to your assigned teacher and then s/he grades them and sends them back. You also have a midterm and a final that you have to take as well. Those grades added up will give you your final grade for the class. You can also get transcripts that CTY calls reports that they can send to colleges or other summer programs or whatnot.

As for the deadline, there is no deadline to apply/start. I started my calc class just before November even though all my other classes had started in August. You do have to allow for 2 weeks once you sign up until you can officially start the class. They have to process your info and send you the materials and such, so that’s reasonable.

If you mean deadline for finishing the course, you have to finish the course in exactly 3 months from the start date, which is two weeks after your sign up date. If you cannot do that, then you have to either drop the course or pay for an extra 3 months (so you would basically be paying for a 6 month session instead of a 3 month one).

Anymore questions?
