Often, on the day a term begins, students have questions regarding when their course(s) will open. Course sections gradually open throughout the first day of the term (usually a Monday), starting at 9 AM ET and up until 6 PM ET. You will receive an email notification once a course section opens, letting you know you can access the first lesson. Keep in mind, not all courses open at the same time, so you will receive a separate notification email for every course in which you are enrolled.
