understand expectations, and access the many support resources that are available.

top of yourMy Coursesarea in Blackboard within a few days after enrolling.

orientation through Blackboard.

small chunks as you have time.

"deeper diveif you need or desire to do so.

Either way, read, watch, and practice your way through to completion before you begin your classes.

engaging, and they become more excited, knowledgeable and confident to start classes.

Thanks for taking a moment for our brief tool overview.
