Other Students

Worried smiley faceI will be distributing permission numbers to interested students on a first-come-first serve basis, based on available spots on the roster only AFTER my wait-listed students.  It is highly unlikely that students not on the wait list will receive a permission number however interested students can still attend class during the first week in hopes of getting a permission number.  Access to the class website (http://d2l.losrios.edu) will be available within 48 hours after official registration with eServices.

Note: I will never distribute permission numbers by email or voicemail.  Interested students must attend the first class.
