Short Courses are presented during the fall and spring semesters. Attendance is open to all members of the University community at no charge. At the beginning of each semester, the Short Course schedule is distributed to URI departments, posted in IITS facilities, and announced in University publications. In general, classes meet one to three hours. Most courses provide hands-on training, allowing attendees practical experience with the equipment or software being discussed.
Registration is required as enrollment is limited.
This will enable someone else to attend and allow the instructor to prepare an appropriate number of teaching materials. A class may also be cancelled if fewer than five people arrive or if weather is questionable. For information, call 874-2301 and press 4. Most courses have prerequisites - classes which must be taken prior to attending that course. Prerequisites are included to bring attendees to roughly the same level of knowledge.
