Online students should allocate about 3 hours weekly for each credit course and must log into Blackboard before the class starts to avoid jeopardizing enrollment. All communication should be done through the Madison College email account, which needs to be checked at least one week before classes commence. Registration is open until the day prior to class start, and students must seek instructor permission for late enrollment, with specific coursework requirements detailed by the instructor.
