| Important: You will not be able to access
your Blackboard home area or online course until the first day of the quarter.
You should log into your Blackboard online
class the first day of the quarter, which for Fall Quarter will be
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at midnight. You MUST BE LOGGED IN NO LATER THAN Wednesday, September 21 at midnight to be considered as attending and staying enrolled in that specific online class. If you are unable to log in from home, you need to get to a campus location and log into your Blackboard Course. If you have logon or access problems, contact the Help Desk immediately. Be sure to give the Help Desk your full name and the name of your online course and your school email address, your student ID number, and a phone number and email address where you can be reached should they have any additional questions. You can reach the Help Desk by calling 1-800-628-7722 Ext. 2800 or emailing the Help Desk at helpdesk@sscc.edu. Getting starting with your course is critical and you cannot start unless you are logged into your course. This is critical enough for a phone call. As your professor, I cannot assist you with logging into the course, but you need to email me at jbasham@sscc.edu or call me at 800-628-7722 Ext. 4636 or my cell which is 513-720-0504 if you are unable to log into your course by Wednesday, September 21, 2011 by midnight or you will be withdrawn from the course by me for nonattendance - NO EXCEPTIONS! |
