Coursework access is reserved for the student only, as part of helping them step into a true college experience.

Only the student can make academic decisions and complete their coursework.
To help balance high school and college coursework successfully, students may only take one course per eight-week session. All courses must be chosen from those listed on the website, as these have been selected because they fulfill general education or elective requirements at CBU.
All courses are asynchronous, with no required live log-in times. Instead, you鈥檒l have weekly deadlines, assignments and online discussions with professors and classmates. Students can expect to spend about 15 hours per week on their coursework.
