Getting Started and Census Assignments

Every online class has a "census date". The school wants to verify that you intend to participate in the course. You must complete an assignment in each online course by the Census Date to notify the instructor and the school that you intend to participate. If you do not complete a census assignment in your online course you will be dropped from the course. You will find the census quiz in the Getting Started Module.
