Courses & Registration

Online synchronous courses take place on Zoom at specific times. These times are stated in the course description and attendance is required. Any synchronous course that does not have stated meeting dates will work to establish meeting dates that accommodate enrolled students. Online asynchronous courses take place on Canvas, which is our learning management system. Learning and work completion takes place at any time, however, students must attend to coursework deadlines stated in course syllabi.
