Some workshops for Spring 2024 will be conducted virtually via Zoom/Teams while others will be in-person.

Your workshop day is abbreviated in the title of the PLTL section you enrolled in. For example, a section named ‘PLTL Spring 2024 MMC BSC2010 20R’ indicates a workshop on Wednesday from 6:25 PM to 7:40 PM (For reference: M = Monday, T = Tuesday, W = Wednesday, R = Thursday, F = Friday, Sat = Saturday).

Upon successful enrollment, you’ll gain access to a Canvas course page specific to your PLTL workshop. The course name will include abbreviations, such as GBO for General Biology 1, to help you identify it (For reference, GBO = General Biology 1, GBT = General Biology 2, ECO = Ecology).

While there’s no minimum attendance, absences will impact your final PLTL score.
