A limited number of telecourses are aired on Channel 9. If there is no broadcast schedule for Channel 9 in the "VIP Telecourse Packet," the telecourse is not being aired over Channel 9.

The appropriate Broadcast Schedule (HEC, Channel 9 or both) for your telecourse can be located in the "VIP Telecourse Packet" purchased in the University’s bookstore.
