# Large Cohort Subjects

Supporting large numbers of students for even simple making tasks can require significant planning and coordination, for example to make sure adequate quantities of materials are available, or to ensure adequate time has been allocated for fabrication. 

If you have a subject with over 50 students and you would like to integrate making or a demonstration in the Maker Spaces into your subject please submit the **Non-standard Making Request Form** at least one month before the start of semester. After completing the form the Maker Spaces Management team will be in contact to discuss your requirements to ensure your needs can be supported by the Maker Spaces team.
