If you are enrolled in an English course this semester, you'll have access to the Blackboard page! Starting the 15th, you can use the QR code to navigate to Blackboard and check out our services. We hope to see your upcoming papers this semester!

Due to inclement weather, all Wake Tech campuses will be closed Thur, Aug 8. In-person classes are canceled but online classes continue as scheduled. Many Wake Tech services, including admissions and advising, are available virtually at waketech.edu. Wake Tech employees who can work remotely should do so.

Although classes begin on August 15, now may be a good time to make sure you are signed up for Wake Tech Warn. To receive text alerts, add a mobile number under the SMS option.
