Beginning Algebra (Math 261) Online
Spring 2016 Course Calendar
I encourage you to work ahead of this schedule if possible… just don’t get behind! If you are unable
to complete your homework by the due date, you may continue to work on it for an additional 24 hours, but
you will only receive half credit for problems worked after the original deadline. There are no extensions for
quiz deadlines.
Dates and times for all on-campus exams are listed below. You may take your exam the following
evening with the online intermediate algebra class if necessary. Please be certain to arrange your work and
school schedules so you are able to attend the scheduled exams.
