CANCELLED BAAGU COURSES

Most of our BAAGU courses have a minimum enrollment of 6 attendees in order for us to hold the course. If that threshold is not reached, the Learning Management System automatically cancels the course at midnight the day before it is scheduled.

Please check BAAG.com the day before your course to make sure it is still running. This is the best way to get information about your course, particularly if you're coming in off-shift.

Also, it's imperative that if you plan to come to a class, that you REGISTER FOR IT. You just might be that one person that puts enrollment over the minimum threshold and allows the class to be held!
