All classes are held online in a live, virtual format. Please see the Course Listings/Schedule section of the Registrar’s Office webpage for specific course dates and times. 

7-week course format

Weeks 1-6: Class meets online one night per week for two hours.
Week 7: Class meets online on Saturday and Sunday for three hours each day.

14-week course format

Weeks 1-14: Class meets online one night per week for two hours.

Students take two courses at a time (one 14-week course and one 7-week course) and therefore will be in class two nights per week, plus a weekend component at the end of each 7-week class.
