  2. Compare the needed courses to when they are offered on your 2-Year Course Rotations (see next tab).

Here at Fitchburg State we try to follow the course rotations but in some cases we add and/or remove courses on the schedule. Please check the Course Schedule to ensure the course you need is running.

If you attempt to register for a course from your online, accelerated program in College Scheduler and receive an error message saying, “course closed”, feel free to put yourself on the waitlist for that course. This lets us know that more students need a particular course, so we can consider making schedule changes to accommodate the need. Note that this does not guarantee that space will be made available. But, it does indicate that you would like to be added when and if the decision is made to add additional seats.

We also have great videos that will walk you through...
