  Hi Andrea,
Thanks for posting this! Class won't actually be starting for another few weeks. You'll be notified when Campus Square opens - the website specifically for your course. Since this is posted on the main site, you might want to copy this, and then when Campus Square is set up, post in the Q&A there. Again, you'll be notified, and you'll receive instructions. Thanks again!
Kerry


P.S. Let me know if you have any questions ... kerry@betterphoto.com
