Additional Information

Intake Method:

The course sections (CRNs) use continuous intake registration. That means they do not have traditional start/end dates. You can register at any time (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) during the date range shown. However, you will only have until the end date of your CRN to complete the course, so be sure to check the total course hours to ensure you are registering early enough to complete the course by that date. Also keep in mind that you will receive your online access/course materials approximately a week after you register.
