Based on course times @msdisme will verify with instructors and Heid that October 10th after 11am is ok and that they will communicate it to their users.

Neither proposed date worked. I will be sending a survevy on oct 4 to identify a date that does. In the meantime @jtriley we probably want to revisit the other options you mentioned.
