Bob emailed me yesterday about registration, so I sent back a message asking for clarification on school entries:

"Thanks for the email! I actually emailed you this morning from my personal account; there's been some discussion in the Ecomodder GGP thread this year about whether I should register as a school entry or not. I am a full-time student; I decided to go back to school and get an Associate of Engineering Science degree. So, not faculty if that makes a difference.

I'll be happy to compete in whatever class I'm eligible (honestly, I don't really care about awards anyway; I'm in it for the experience!). My car is significantly modified, which was why I thought it might not be appropriate for the Prius Challenge."

And his reply:

"Thanks for the background info. It doesn’t make any difference if you are a student or faculty. No fee for both.
You are right. You can’t run in the Prius Challenge because your car is modified.
I didn’t catch that at first!"
