Orientation: How to access courses

  1. Get a student account
    Before you can access your student email or your online courserooms (Blackboard), you must have a student account. An account is set up for you after you are accepted as a student by the college and register for a course. If you don't have a Student ID, please contact the registrar's office.
  2. Send an email to your instructor
    After receiving your verification of enrollment, confirm your registration by going to Webmail and emailing the instructor of the course. Go to the faculty/staff directory page to find the instructor's email address. Also, pay attention to your name as used by the college. For example, if you go by Joe Doe, but the college identifies you as Joseph, you need to use Joseph.Doe. Go to IT's Web site for detailed information on logging in, navigating, and troubleshooting common email issues.
  3. Access Desire2Learn (D2L)
    Registered students can access their course/s and college services by typing in their username and password, and clicking the Login button. Pay attention to your name as used by the college. For example, if you go by Joe Doe, but you identified yourself as Joseph Doe on your application, you need to login as Joseph.Doe.
