To ensure a successful term beginning, complete the following checklist. It may be helpful to print and keep for future reference. Refer to the term schedule to determine the start and end date of your course. 

 

c  FIND OUT IF ONLINE LEARNING WILL WORK FOR YOU AT http://www.cel.cmich.edu/ti/isit4u.html.

 

c  VISIT THE SYSTEM TEST PAGE AT www.cel.cmich.edu/system-check. Make sure your computer system meets all requirements before starting classes.
