Updated class lists, indicating delivery mode and locations, are now available on AccessPlus. At this time, students who wish to change their schedule to achieve more online or in-person courses, or switch sections of the same course, have the opportunity to do so in AccessPlus. (Please note, some courses could still change, however the majority of the fall schedule is finalized.) This graphic illustrates a comparison between delivery modes. Instructors will be in touch with more info as the first day of school nears.

Classes begin on Aug. 17, and students may make changes to their schedules without instructor and/or adviser approval until Friday, Aug. 21. Students who need assistance in changing their fall course schedule should contact their adviser.
