Transformative Learning Labs

Transformative Learning Labs are scheduled during most quarters, often at University Centers. The schedule and location for each Lab is announced generally a month before the quarter begins.

Notes:

1. The University reserves the right to change dates and locations of coursework schedules if necessary.
2. Course registration-related dates are approximate and may vary based on weekends, holidays, and other calendar constraints.
3. Online Transformative Learning Labs are announced via the course registration process each quarter, however Online Labs are less frequent than Onsite Labs.
