Start Smart!

The better prepared you are to engage in your courses, the more successful your spring semester will be. If you have yet to register, remember, classes are filling fast! Contact your adviser with questions.

Important Reminders:

  • If you registered for any online classes, synchronous or asynchronous, you must login to your classes and participate/engage in online academically related activities, or initiate contact with the instructor & to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course or ask a course-related question, so your enrollment can be verified by your professor! Once the semester begins, login and participate in all your online classes using Blackboard to avoid an administrative withdrawal / WN.
  • Over the next few weeks, look for important emails from the College and your professors on your Office 365 student email account. Start Smart!
