• The assessments are due on or before the dates that are noted.  I strongly recommend that you SAVE and/or PRINT each one BEFORE you submit it.  That way if there is a technical problem you will have proof that you have completed the assignment. In addition, all assessments are due IN ORDER.  (#1 before #2, etc.)   Each lesson builds on the previous lesson.  I encourage you to submit the assessment as soon as you have completed it.
• If you would like to complete the course earlier than the end of the semester, you are most welcome to do so. Remember to check your e-mail messages frequently.  I will use the course e-mail within MyHCC.
