The Borderlands is the area south of the US/Canadian boundary, which is also the home of the Shire of Shittimwoode in the Principality of Tir Righ, in the Kingdom of An Tir.
The Borderlands Campus is administered by Chancellor of Ithra, HL Helene de Navarre. Like all University of Ithra campuses, Borderlands provides a place for those interested in Medieval Arts & Sciences to explore and further their learning.
General Information: Although SCA membership is not necessary to participate, participants at Ithra must make some attempt at pre-17th century costume. Students must agree to obey all rules and regulations as set forth by the Regents and enforced by the Provost, faculty and staff.
An instructor receives Ithra credit for the class the first time it is taught. A Masters Degree will be awarded to instructors who teach the same class at three sessions. Instructors also receive a registration fee waiver for the session in which they teach.
All grades are pass/fail, decided by the instructor; non-attendance is a “no show” and all class fees are forfeited, although handouts may be obtained upon request. If you need to cancel your registration, do so at least a week in advance to receive a refund. Any appeal to a grade must be made to the Board of Proctors. Notification will be given only to those who attend but fail a class.
No classes may be audited; this is a long-standing policy of Ithra. Class limits are chosen by the instructor; although the size of a class may be expanded in case of need, this is not a routine or acceptable practice. Overfilling a class will only result in less effective teaching and learning.
All fees must be paid in advance before class sessions begin.
The Matriculation fee, which covers the cost of the Compendium and maintaining the records of classes the student attains, is $2.00 and is only paid the first time the student registers at an Ithra session.
The Registration fee, which covers operating costs, is variable from session to session depending on the costs. This fee is in addition to the Matriculation Fee. If fees do not accompany the registration form, you will not be registered. If you register late and the classes are filled, you will receive a refund or an opportunity to switch to a different class.
Class fees are set by the instructor based on cost estimates for handouts and materials and may include travel costs for the instructor. We do not sell handouts—if you would like to obtain a copy of a handout, speak directly to the instructor.
