//** NEW THIS YEAR! **// The academy is being presented in a //__new and exciting format__// this year. Summer Tech is going 21st century. All of our courses will be //__accessed and completed online__.// This year our courses cover more content and require a greater time commitment from you. You will have 8 weeks to complete all online readings, assignments, discussions, quizzes and the final project that you will present at the __required face to face meeting__ in August. Because the online format has allowed us to broaden our courses and create a more in depth study of the topic, Ashland has increased the graduate credits available for each course. You may take as many courses as you want, __BUT__ you can only take up to __9 graduate credit hours__ during this summer session.

Our face to face meetings will be offered on multiple dates and a flexible time schedule to accommodate family schedules, coaches and those of you with summer jobs. Actual dates and times will be posted on your course Announcement page. All face to face meetings will take place during the weeks of August 6 and August 13.
