Get Started
Online Tutorial Sessions
If this is the first semester you have taken an online or online-enhanced course, you may want to attend an online course tutorial session on-campus to help you get started.
The tutorial sessions last less than an hour and will help guide you through:
- Logging into your course
- Communicating with your classmates and your instructor
- Turning in assignments
- How exams and quizzes operate
Sessions are on a first come first served basis - there is limited seating in each session.
