I found and read my course Logon Instructions on the Virtual Campus website. I understand that I cannot logon to the course until the semester begins, but that I SHOULD prepare myself for the course prior to the start of the semester.

I checked the technical requirements for my course and compared them to the computer I plan to use. If the computer I plan to use for the course did not have the necessary hardware or software, I upgraded it and/or purchased the necessary software prior to the start of the semester.

I obtained my textbook and/or other required course materials by visiting the College bookstore or ordering them online through the Online HACC Bookstore prior to the start of the course.

I read the Frequently Asked Questions page to become familiar with how online courses are conducted and where to go to get help and information should I need it.

 I visited the Desire2Learn FAQ to familiarize myself with the online course tools and environment.

I feel confident that I can succeed as an online student. I'm ready to begin the semester! (Go to the Online Course Handbook.)
