First Day of Class Instructions

All enrolled students are required to login to the class Moodle website the first week of class to hold their spot in the class. If a registered student does not login to the class site during this period, his or her spot will be given to a student on the waitlist.

Waitlist & Add Codes

If you are on the waitlist or attempting to add the course, email the instructor, James Gonzalez as soon as possible to indicate your desire to take the course and to receive course start up information.

Please include your name, the section number of the class you wish to add, and your COM Student ID (if you have one) in your email. I do honor the official waitlist, adding students in the order they appear on the waitlist. Students are added in the order they appear on the wait list, as spots open up. Because enrolled students have the first week to check in, most spots do not open up until week 2 of the course, so be patient. The first week of class is mostly occupied by housekeeping tasks.
