Can I pay by a purchase order (PO)? Yes, please contact bsimon@ucsd.edu with the subject line "CS - Supplementary Authorization Purchase Order" for more information.

How do I get help if I need it? You can reach out to the professor and/or others taking the classes via our google group: cs4teachers-g@ucsd.edu That said, the courses have been designed to provide all necessary support and information as you go along.  But Dr. Simon is always happy to schedule a phone or zoom chat to answer any questions you may have! 

How do I get my California Computer Science Supplementary Authorization? These courses are designed to meet the requirements of both the Introductory (multiple-subject holder) and Specific (single-subject holder) supplementary authorizations.  That said, if you have prior CS coursework - you may not need ALL of these classes!  Contact Dr. Simon via the google group to get advice.    When you are ready, Dr. Simon will provide you with paperwork to support your application for the Supplementary Authorization.
