The university requires us to determine which students commence academic activity. Failure to certify academic activity, may result in students being billed for unearned financial aid.

To do this automatically, we are using a survey in Canvas that every student must fill out by the end of Friday of Week 2 to ensure that they are certified.

• First Day Survey: Tell Me About Yourself #FinAid

After the first lecture, there is one video to watch. You should also familiarize yourself with the syllabus.
