BEFORE YOUR ONLINE CLASSES BEGIN

DEPENDING ON THE INSTRUCTOR, YOUR BLACKBOARD CLASSES MAY NOT BE OPEN UNTIL THE FIRST DAY OF THE TERM

Blackboard CE is our main online course management system.

NOTE: Some classes [usually math classes] use a different online system, so if you are taking a math class online, be sure to contact your instructor NOW to find out which system you will be using.

1. REQUIRED: Contact your instructor before the semester begins for more information about the class. You can find your teacher’s email and phone number by searching the NWACC directory here:  http://www.nwacc.edu/phonelist.php

2. Read thru all the links located here. They contain very important information about online learning and the technical requirements for the computer you will be using for your online classes.

3. Make sure you know your Blackboard password. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!  Your password will usually be your date of birth, MMDDYY. For example, March 10, 1972 will be 031072. If this does not work, contact dl@nwacc.edu for assistance.

If technical issues do arise with My NWACC Connection, you will go to http://nwacc.blackboard.com   and login with your normal username  [usually your first initial and last name] and your Blackboard password.

4.  If you experience any other technical issues not covered above, please contact the Distance Learning Department at dl@nwacc.edu.

DEPENDING ON HOW YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS SET UP THE CLASS, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OR ENTER YOUR BLACKBOARD CLASSES UNTIL THE FIRST DAY OF THE TERM.
