- Choose what class times work best for you and your schedule.
M=Monday
T=Tuesday
W=Wednesday
R=ThursdayF=Friday
S=Saturday
U=Sunday- So for example, a class labeled as meeting on "TR" would meet on both Tuesday and Thursday.

Description of Class Types
Traditional class sessions meet face-to-face.
Hybrid Classes are taught through a combination of face-to-face and online sessions.
100% online courses are those courses that do not require any on campus visits or proctored exams.
95% online courses will have one on-campus requirement, typically an orientation or exam. A proctored exam alternative is made available for students at a geographic distance of 50 miles or more from campus. It is the student's responsibility to obtain proctor approval from the instructor prior to scheduling a proctored examination.
eCore is 100% online courses offered through the University System of Georgia (USG). Classes count the same as 亚博官方网站 online courses, but sections may be taught by professors from other universities within the USG.

Understanding Section Codes
-
What is a Course "Section"?
In the context of a college course, a section is a group of students who are enrolled in the same course at the same time, led by a specific instructor.
Typically, we offer multiple sections of the same course at different times of the day or week to accommodate students' schedules. For example, PSYC 1101 may have several sections, each with its own meeting time and instructor.
Sections are designed to provide a consistent learning experience for students, regardless of which instructor they have. Each instructor should cover the same material, sometimes even use the same assignments and assessments, and follow a similar syllabus, ensuring that all students in the course receive the same level of instruction and have the similar expectations.

Registration Tips
-
Spread your classes out over the week.
Taking all your classes on just a couple of days makes for a long day. You also increase the likelihood of having several tests or major assignments due on the same day. -
Schedule classes at times you know you can be up and alert.
General education classes like ENGL 1101, MATH 1111, and ECON 1000 are offered morning, afternoon, and evening. Build your schedule based around when you know you'll be awake and can focus! -
You can make it anywhere on the Kennesaw or Marietta campus in about 15 minutes!
- Don't worry if you have a back-to-back class on your schedule
- Students can take classes on both the Kennesaw and Marietta campus. Be sure to check the location when registering.
-
But don't schedule all of your classes back-to-back!
It鈥檚 okay to have a class or two back-to-back, but do give yourself breaks to grab food or study in between classes. You'll thank yourself as tests come up or assignments are due! -
If you are taking classes at both campuses, give yourself at least an hour to get to the other campus.
- Slowdowns on 75 are common, so don't go by the standard travel time.
- The B.O.B. shuttles runs between campuses all day, so you can relax and let someone else worry about the driving!
-
Do not complete all your general education courses before starting major courses.
Completing your Gen Ed first is a common piece of advice friends or family like to give, but doing this more than likely means you may get to a point where you do not have enough classes to create a schedule!
