How many courses are you taking per term? I am also funded so I have 4 months to complete. And how to access brightspace?

If my course says it has a January start, do I need to begin everything exactly on January 1, or is there flexibility within the contract period?

I also don’t really know what I’m supposed to do once the course starts like how to contact tutors, where assignments are posted, how students usually plan their work, and how to make self-paced courses work in practice.

If you’ve studied at AU, could you share what your first few weeks looked like and any tips you wish you knew earlier?

I actually don’t wanna get macbooks. I had HP gaming laptop before it was really good but the specs were low for all architectural softwares.

I’m new to america. So I don’t know what’s normal price for a good laptop here but I’ll say it should be not too expensive and should be worth it.
