REMINDER ABOUT FLEXRegistering for a Flex period is a requirement. Please ensure that you choose a location to attend for as long as Flex is being used appropriately, it will continue to be a part of our day.

Regrettably, if Flex is not utilized for its purpose, we run the risk of losing it. Remember this is to support your learning through extra help and time available to better assignment completion.
