Note: FlipIt is moving to the Macmillan Achieve platform in Fall 2023 for most courses. A limited number of courses will continue to have FlipIt access in FA2023.

 

Certain courses are participating in the Course Materials Initiative, which provides access to FlipIt (formerly known as SmartPhysics) without students having to purchase a separate license.
