First Day of Class:
You will be required to login by 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday of the first week of class and complete an assignment to introduce yourself to the class. Failure to login by this time and complete the discussion board post will result in being dropped from the course.
**If you are on the “waitlist” and are still interested in adding the class, please email me on the first day of class. If space is available, I will give you an add code to register for the course. I am unable to add you to the course before the first day of class. Because this course is accelerated, I cannot add students after the add/drop deadline regardless if you were on the waitlist.
