Class Schedule

New Options to Help you Plan

To support your success and serve you better, Brightpoint is offering you new registration options. 

You can now Register for Three Semesters
Starting April 3, 2023, you can sign up for the Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 classes. Plan ahead and lock in your path to graduation now. Planning ahead can help you design a pathway to completing your goals while allowing you to create a schedule that fits into your life.

New 7-Week Option Allows you to Focus on Fewer Classes at a Time 
Our new 7-Week Session launches with our Fall 2023 schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, two 7-Week Sessions will be offered with a wide variety of course offerings. Signing up for two or more classes in each of those sessions allows you to focus on fewer classes at once, while still giving you the opportunity to be full-time (12 or more credits per semester). If you need to remain a part-time student, that’s okay. You can still double your course load per semester, which can help you complete faster. 

New, More Flexible Course Options
To help you fit college in to your busy schedule, Brightpoint offers a variety of course formats, also known as course modalities. Class formats include on campus, Zoom, online or a combination of these options. And, some class formats allow you to switch how you attend a class throughout the semester. 

When reviewing the schedules, look at the course section numbers and notes for important information on how a class will be taught. Not sure what a word or phrase means? Check out our “What does that mean?” section below. A list of course format options by semester is listed below.

Please note: Starting with Fall 2023 classes, Brightpoint will be offering additional course formats, and there are some changes to the letters used at the beginning of the course section number.

Ready to Get Started? 
New to Brightpoint? Complete our Application for Admission, and then a new student navigator will contact you to guide you through the registration process.

Already a Brightpoint Student? Starting April 3, log into myBrightpoint and go into SIS or Navigate to register for your Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 classes. We encourage you to set up an appointment in Navigate with your faculty advisor. If you haven't declared a major, reach out to the Help Hub for assistance.
