IMPORTANT - First Week of Every Course - Required Activity

The first week of class runs from the Monday the course opens until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the first Sunday of that week.

During Week One, students are required to log into all of their courses and submit a minimum 250-word introductory forum post for each course.

Students who do not submit this assignment during the first week of class may be automatically dropped from any courses in which this assignment has not been completed.

• Informal agreements with an instructor to turn the forum assignment in late will not prevent a student from being dropped.
• For special 2-week courses and comprehensive exams, students are only required to fully attend (log in and out) prior to the one week deadline.
• Students should not rely upon the automated drop if they know they want to drop the course. To ensure a student's course is dropped and they get a full refund, students must submit the online course drop form before the posted deadline.
