• Follow directions on Student Login Form and log into WebAdvisor, set up GC student email account and Blackboard account • Understand college expectations are different than high school expectations • Attend class regularly (face to face, hybrid, or online) Online courses take as much time as traditional face-to-face courses. Students need to set aside sufficient amount of time for study and are required to participate actively in online discussions and group assignments. • Students need to login each day to keep up with the content flow, complete assignments, follow discussions and communicate with your classmates and instructor (in a professional not “texting” manner). • Communicate directly with college instructor • Expect to be treated as a college student – Consequences for lack of participation or attendance may result in being withdrawn for the course(s) by the college instructor
