Class Schedule

Featured Winter Courses

Winter Quarter Starts Jan. 9

Join us on our main campus for face-to-face classes!

In-person, hybrid or fully online—we have a robust schedule of courses this winter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your winter classes in Canvas will NOT display on your Canvas Dashboard until the first day of the quarter.

Some classes will be taught at the regular times listed in the schedule (synchronously). Classes designated as 'Online' will typically allow for much more flexibility, and some classes will combine both approaches.

Contact your instructor if you have any questions about the method of delivery for your fall classes. You can find faculty contact information through our searchable online directory.

To learn how we are supporting our students online, visit our Virtual Campus website.
