Dear Students!

General information about the course organization.

1.    Class format

Each course lasts 2 months. That's why some courses start in September, and others start in November.

One course includes 15 classes, a Midterm, and a Final.

You have two deadlines:

1) Midterm;

2) Final.

Materials and assessment activities for all topics scheduled before the Midterm are open 24/7 from the start of the course till the Midterm, and access to the assessment activities will be closed the day before the Midterm. Materials and assessment activities for all topics scheduled after the Midterm will be available 24/7 after the Midterm; access to the assessment activities will be closed one day before the Final. 

Note! Schedules with dates are provided in each course's syllabus.

You work on materials and all assessment activities at any time that suits you without scheduled lectures.

After the deadlines, your assignments, homework, and projects will not be accepted or evaluated.

We don't limit your access to information. So you can study at the time that's most convenient for you. But don't forget about deadlines. You will have weekly consultations (detailed information is available on the Registration page). So do not neglect this opportunity. Note! Part of the distance course points is allocated for consultations.

2.    Midterms and Finals

The Midterm and Final timetable is provided in each course's syllabus. Midterms and Finals will be held via Zoom at times and dates determined by the dean's office. The course is open before it starts.

4. Syllabus

Don't forget that the main document in your course is a syllabus. Instructor's contact information, information about your course, assignments, projects, deadlines, and a list of materials you can find there.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask your instructors. They will be glad to help you!
Good luck during the Fall 2026 semester!

The first semester of the 2026-2027 academic year starts on September 1, 2026.

All courses listed for each year of study can be taken in a distance format. Сonsultation times for distance courses can be found here.
