Notes

1

CTY's Registrar emails application confirmation and instructor contact information. Please put ctyregcde@jhu.edu and your instructor's email address on your safe/trusted email list. 

If you have not received these messages by the friday before the start date, check your spam or bulk mail folder. If you don't see messages there, phone (410)735-6108 or e-mail ctyregcde@jhu.edu immediately.

2

You can both complete a spring CTYOnline course and attend session 1 of CTY Summer Programs, BUT, to do so, you must notify your instructor at the beginning of your course.

3

The midsummer intensive session for writing/language arts courses is a compacted version of the fall and spring courses.

Students in web-based formats have about 2 hours of work each day. In e-mail formats, 1.5 hours each weekday.

This time commitment is not feasible while a student is also in a CTY summer program or on a vacation. 

Session-based courses cannot be postponed or suspended. Students enrolled in CTY summer programs or planning a vacation must schedule their CTYOnline writing/language arts course for a different, non-overlapping session or choose the flexi-paced option, if available.

4

The midsummer intensive session starts three days after CTY Summer Programs Session 1 ends.

5

End-of-session materials -- final evaluation, certificate of participation, information about credit and placement, and a CTYOnline course application -- are usually mailed 4 to 6 weeks after the session's end.
