Course Instruction Time

Instructors and participants meet for live, online course instruction for two hours each day (Monday–Friday). Each course is assigned a specific two-hour window of time for this daily online instruction time. Your assigned course and live course time is listed in your acceptance letter. The third hour is designated for small group office hours with instructors 2-3 days per week. Participants are expected to attend class and participate actively each day during their assigned time. Active participation in class discussion is key to creating an online community of engaged learners.

Preparing For Your Course

Participants are not required to do any reading or complete course assignments prior to the start of the program. We look forward to welcoming you to the course on the first day of the session!

Note that some courses may require the purchase of additional materials such as course readers or textbooks. These materials are not included in the program tuition and will not exceed $100. Instructors select readily available items and prioritize resources that are available online.

Approximately two weeks in advance of the start of the program, you will receive a list of any additional materials that are needed for your course via email. Regularly check your email for emails from our programs team.
