Waitlist Policy: If the class section is full (closed)
at the time you register, you may choose to be placed on the
class section waitlist. You may add your name, without charge,
to the waitlist. If space becomes available in the closed
section, the first person on the waitlist will be eligible
to register in that class section. Other students on the waitlist
will move up and be allowed to register as space becomes available.
Every effort will be made to notify you by email or
letter when a space opens up, but it is your responsibility
to monitor your position on the waitlist and to register if
a space becomes available to you. More details can
be found at this
link.

ID number from your instructor to register in the software.

3.
What kind of internet connection do I need?
Dial-up is fine. Faster is better. Be sure you can work online
for sustainable blocks of time (e.g., 90-minute sessions)
most days of the week and several times a day.
4.
How much time will this class take?
That depends on many things. A general rule of thumb is 3
- 5 hours per unit per week. So a 4 unit course may require
12 - 20 hours per week. This could include time for computer
work, homework, instructor contact, exams, etc. Most students find onilne math classes more difficult than the classroom equivalents.
