How to Get Started in Your Online Course

After gaining access to the course site, students should:

  • Tour the course site to become familiar with all of the materials and resources the instructor has provided.
  • Study the syllabus for the course.
  • Secure copies of the required textbook and any other needed materials prior to the first day of classes.

In addition to the above, students should look for course site announcements, emails, and other guidance from instructors. Also, email instructors any questions and/or concerns about any aspect of the online courses.
