How Does Remote Learning Work?
Students will simply receive an email from their instructor on the day each class is scheduled with a link to join the class meeting via Zoom (a video conferencing service) – no need to download anything or sign up for Zoom in advance.
If you have the Internet, you can write with us. It's that simple. (If you don't have internet service because of financial constraints, note this need in your scholarship application, too.)
