In order for our office to create a roster for use in a class, online withdraws need to be made at least 24 hours before the class. For example, you’re registered for a class on Wednesday, that begins at 8:30. You would need to withdraw online BEFORE 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. If you have an emergency after that point, please email us at firesafety@kean.edu to request a withdraw. Your camera wasn’t turned on and/or the facilitator was unable to observe you in class for the majority of time the class was in session. You didn’t attend.

Students, Please be aware that there are four different Zoom classes on Saturday, April 22. This may mean that your class will open just before 8:30 or a couple of minutes late. Please don’t panic and email me. All instructors/facilitators know how to reach me and we will be communicating. If there is a technical or other reason that we have to cancel or significantly delay your class, a notice will be posted to our blog. Please DO NOT attempt to join your class until after 8:15. If you’re still not in your class by 8:35 please close out the Zoom page and begin the joining process from step one every five minutes until you are in the class. Thank you in advance for your patience. Jolene
