Friendly Reminders

We're currently working on reviewing regional online courses scheduled to be offered in the spring. If you are a program chair, department chair, or regional course mentor you will be receiving an e-mail from us in regards to your regional course(s). Please respond as soon as possible! Remember classes end on Dec. 17th and the college will be closed between Christmas and New Years, therefore our preparation time will be cut somewhat short this year.

Second 8-week courses begin Monday, October 17th, they will become available to the students in the morning on Friday, October 14th.
