How do I sign up for an intensive course

The Registrar’s Office is your go-to resource for everything you need to register for your course.  

When will I get my schedule?  

All course schedules will be posted to Moodle the Monday before classes start.  If you have questions beforehand, the best way to learn about the details of your schedule is to contact your instructor directly. You are expected to participate fully in all class sessions and other activities throughout the intensive. 

Here is the general schedule of the intensive week, which runs Saturday, August 10 through Saturday, August 17.  

Who can I contact if I have questions about...? 

When you create a ticket, please include:
1) Who you are (first name, last name and date of birth)
2) What page you're on (Moodle, CloudLab, email, SelfService, etc.)
3) What’s going on (identify the problem, say how long it’s been going on, and provide a screen shot of the issue if available (for example, include the error message)).
