All students who are enrolled in the SGU MPH Online courses have access to the course website accessible via mycourses.sgu.edu. This website contains information and materials, including syllabi, announcements, course readings, lecture slides, handouts, and other features. The site will be an evolving course product.
Once students have received an @sgu.edu e-mail address, they may use that e-mail to register for the platform.
- The @sgu.edu e-mail address must be used to register.
- The SGU Username must be used to register. This is usually a student’s first initial, last name, and sometimes a digit. (e.g. jsmith9)
Find all MPH online courses at MyCourses/SAKAI. Students need to use the same user ID and password used to access their SGU email account.
Online Instructors will provide access to their course site by the first day of classes at the latest and typically provide early access of up to a week prior to the start of a term. Again, the rule of thumb for participation in each online course includes logging into the course site at least three times a week (to study course lectures/materials, keep up with instructor announcements, and participate in ongoing course-related discussions).
Further, unless stated in the schedule of classes, all online courses will include asynchronous learning activities and assessments (with all real time activities–like online chat reviews prior to a test/exam–optional only). Alternatively, if a course has a real time component, the day and time for the real time component will be listed in the SGU Schedule of Classes.
