Spring Time ChangeToday folks in the United States shifted their clocks forward by one hour (so, 3:00 AM becomes 4:00 AM) and EST becomes EDT. Depending on the country in which you're based, your logon time for Monday classes may change. Keep this in mind! If you're in the US, the official time can be found at time.gov. If you're outside the US, try using a time zone converter to ensure you are synced with US time.
