Preplanned Scheduling *

Preplanned Scheduling

If you would like a preplanned schedule, an academic advisor can build your course schedule and then send it to your student email for your review. If you wish to opt-in to this option, please select Yes below and complete the Advising Information section. An academic advisor will build a schedule for your consideration and acceptance. You will need to email back your acceptance within two business days in order for your registration to be finalized. If you would like to meet remotely with an advisor to plan a course schedule, select No below.

Advising Information

In order for an advisor to build your schedule without meeting with you first, we need the following information.
Enter your degree or certificate program (e.g. Business Administration or General Studies).
A full-time schedule is 12 or more credits. Classes are typically 3 credits each, so 4 classes is full-time. If you are unsure, you should meet with an advisor instead of requesting a preplanned schedule.
Most courses for Spring 2021 will be fully online in either LRON or ONLN format. Some courses, such as science courses with labs, may require meeting on-campus. Please indicate which course formats you are willing to take.
+ Course Format Descriptions
  • LRON - Live/Remote Online courses are fully online, but students will be required to sign in remotely and interact with their professor and/or classmates on the days and times noted in the myCommNet schedule. Students will participate in live online sessions through Blackboard Collaborate, Microsoft Teams, or WebEx, with specific information provided by individual faculty members.
  • ONLN - Online courses in which students are not expected to sign on at specific times, but assignments and exams have specific due dates.
  • HYBR - Hybrid courses may be held both on-campus and online (a combination of LRON, ONLN, and TRAD). Individual faculty will determine how often the class will meet on campus and will communicate the on campus meeting schedule through Blackboard at the start of the class.
  • TRAD - Traditional classroom courses are held on campus at specific times. There will be only limited offerings of courses in this format, such as for health or manufacturing.
 

Availability

Please let us know when you are unavailable for class meetings and which days and times are preferable to you.
    • ONLN courses do not have set meeting times, but other formats do meet at scheduled times.
    • Courses that meet twice a week typically meet on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.
    • There are some one day per week courses also on Monday-Saturday.
    • On Monday-Thursday, courses begin as early as 8:00AM and end as late as 9:20PM, while Friday and Saturday courses are typically in the morning.
    • Enter as much detail as possible to help your advisor build your schedule.
