Blackboard Training Visit
Once students are registered for courses, at the request of the high school, a Blackboard training visit can be arranged. This request needs to be submitted before the class start date. During this visit, a member of the College’s Distance Education department will visit your school and assist students with logging into the online course system utilized by the College, Blackboard. In addition, students will be introduced to the student email account that must be utilized throughout the course which is operated through the College’s acornmail email system. This email account will be the primary means of communicating with students by the college and faculty members.
