Changing precepts. If you would like to attend a different precept on a continuing basis, you must officially register for that precept through TigerHub. If the precept is closed, monitor enrollments and change precepts when a student drops. If you have a scheduling problem that can’t be solved unless you move into a closed precept, contact Kobi Kaplan and explain your situation.
