To take a web-based
(online) course:
-
Read the
Technical Requirements for using
Blackboard, and make sure you have access to a
computer meeting these specifications.
-
Register.
-
Take Orientation for each class as shown on
Class Schedule:
-- Attend class Orientation if it meets on campus.
--
Complete class Orientation within Blackboard if
it is online.
-- Class Orientation is not to be confused with orientation to using Blackboard
in general, which is a hands-on training session
offered at the first of each semester (see
below).
Class orientation is always required;
orientation to using Blackboard is recommended
the first time you take an online class.
-
If you have not settled all financial
obligations to the college, you will not be
able to access your current semester Blackboard courses.
Your registration is not considered complete
until all financial aid and or payments have
been applied to your current semester account.
At Orientation or by email, TELL YOUR
INSTRUCTOR that you intend to finish registering
and take the course. Ask how to avoid getting
behind in your early assignments, and follow
instructions. Then access Blackboard as soon as
you become eligible.
-
Financial Aid Students: If your
instructor does not hear from you by the end of
Late Registration, your name will be
turned in to Financial Aid as "not attending." If you are
having computer problems, go to a different
computer and email the instructor; also turn in
any assignments due the first few days.
-
ALWAYS use your college
email account to correspond with instructors
and college offices, never a different account.
Mail from other accounts may not be
accepted.
-
Have a back-up plan for accessing
Blackboard and college email when you have computer or Internet problems. NACC computers in the library or
computer labs can be used. Never let
computer problems make you miss an assignment or
message.
