To begin the online classes please contact the instructor of the class on the FIRST day of the class. The instructor will verify your enrollment and provide you with initial course entry procedures. Because the primary framework for instruction is the Internet, you must have convenient access to the Internet and your own email account. You will need these to use instructional materials, send email messages to the instructor, to participate in discussions, and to use the online library resources. If any of these are new to you, please familiarize yourself before you start the class.
To register please call 512/223-7542. If you have any questions, email the coordinator or call 512/223-7588.
