Dear Florida Poly Community,

Faculty and staff are proactively engaged in efforts to deliver the best possible online learning experience we can deliver. We are striving to improve the quality of our course design, methods of delivery, and support services to enhance your experience and make it successful and rewarding for all of our summer sessions.
