End of Semester

There is usually some confusion at the end of the semester about which date is the actual end date for our accelerated 8-week courses. Invariably, we will have students asking faculty members when the absolute last date for submitting assignments will be. The OU main campus has Finals Week from December 11th to the 15th. So why does CLS end on December 8th ?

Officially, our second session 8-week courses end at midnight, Friday of this week, December 8th, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY YOUR FACULTY MEMBER. That is exactly 8 weeks from the October 16th start of the second 8-week session.

Internet Explorer 7 is now available for download from Microsoft. We have tested it here in CLS and find no problems with our websites. http://learn.ou.edu/ is making no claims either way, but testing here has shown no problems. In the worse case, you can always un-install it manually.
