You've registered and paid for a credit online course... now what?  Don't wait around for the first day of classes! 

Begin these steps now, so you'll be prepared for online learning:

1. Find out the start date for your online class.  The start date is listed on the online course schedule.
   


2. Before your class start date, complete the Blackboard Tour.
   (This is how you'll learn the all-important password for logging in and accessing course materials!)
   
   
3. Activate your ConnectMail account – and begin checking it! You are required to use this email account for your online classes.
   


4. Find out if your course orientation will be on campus or online, by visiting the Orientation page.
• If your course has an on-campus orientation, mark your calendar and be sure to attend!
• If your course has an online orientation, log in to Blackboard on the first day of class to find details about and to complete the orientation assignment.
  


5. Once you complete your course orientation, you'll be off and learning!
