Planning your Study Time
In the 12-week CORe program, you should expect to spend 12-15 hours per week on CORe.
All course deadlines are shown in Boston’s local Eastern Time. It is your responsibility to convert these deadlines to your local time zone as needed. Modules are due on Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. CORe Connections are due on select  Fridays at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Note that the three courses run concurrently, so there is a deadline for a different course each week. Please check the schedule on your Course Dashboard regularly so you can plan your work. We also recommend using our Subscription Calendar, which will load important program dates into your personal calendar, via the link in your Announcements. Please check against your local time zone to ensure you complete your coursework before the deadlines.
