Thirteen courses will be offered in Prince Rupert, Terrace, and Kitimaat Village during the Winter 97 semester, which will run from January to April. Registration is now underway.

Students in Prince Rupert with access to the World Wide Web will also be able to take four UNBC English courses in January. The courses mark the first time UNBC will make courses available on the Internet.
