Course Access Begins

Courses open at 6 a.m. (ET) the first Monday of every month. Students may access their classroom only after the completion of the required steps for their selected payment type.

Read-Only/Early Course Access:

Students who have completed these steps prior to the start of their course may access a read-only version of their online classroom up to 3 days prior to the start date.  

Accessing a course 3 days before the start date allows for one weekday (Friday) where the student can reach University services and resources during normal business hours, in addition to a full weekend to prepare for courses. Providing access to a course prior to its start date equips students with the opportunity to gain insight in a course, feel more comfortable with the assignments and materials, and to make informed decisions on their goals and academic journey.

Payment Completion During Start Week

Students may continue to finalize payment through Friday at 2:00 p.m. (ET) of the first week of the course.  Students should continue to work with their payment method (such as financial aid, military benefits, employer tuition assistance, or self-pay options) to ensure all requirements are met or explore other payment options. If payment is received before the deadline, full course access will be granted , and the student will be able to participate in the course.   

Non-Payment and Course Drops

Students who do not finalize payment by Friday of the first week of the course will be dropped from the course for non-payment.
