  • Acquire all required course materials by the first day of class.
  • Read the course syllabus and participate in your class according to the schedule posted in the course.
  • Ask instructors for clarification on anything you don’t understand or need help with. Ask for help; your instructors are there for you.
  • Maintain courtesy and respect toward your classmates, instructors, home college employees and CCCOnline employees.  Use appropriate netiquette in all online communication.
  • Document any disabilities with your home college Accessibility Office.  Inform your instructor of the accommodations that have been approved by your home college.
