Classes marked “online” are asynchronous online courses with recorded lectures. You are required to complete the coursework, activities, and assignments weekly. You can do it on your own schedule, but the coursework for the week is due every Sunday at 11:59pm.

Once the deadline for the week passes, you cannot submit assignments or activities for that week, so it is important that you complete them weekly before the submission deadline.

Classes marked “virtual” are synchronous virtual classes with instructor lectures offered in real time through D2L virtual classroom. Classes with a classroom number (i.e. 1417) are in-person sessions

STEP 4 - PURCHASE BOOKS/ CENGAGE
