I'm Registered, Now What?

As a South Seattle Community College student, you are responsible for contacting your instructor and getting yourself started in your online course, just as you are with your face-to-face courses. 

PLEASE NOTE, instruction doesn't start until the first day of the quarter, just like face-to-face classes. Online classes are NOT self-paced, have definite start and end dates, and have deadlines. Please plan accordingly.

To get started, click on 
Course Listings in above tab and follow directions to access your class. Everything you need is there!

eLearning requires students have the necessary skills to learn online and complete their online assignments. Before you take any online class, you should be confident about your computer and study skills.

Read the Welcome Letter and print it out. The Welcome Letter contains valuable info, including help sites and tutorial links, as well as payment policies.

Problems logging in? Re-read your Course Listing, make sure you are logging in to the correct place and using the correct login. If problems persist, contact us at eLearning@southseattle.edu, 206.934.7930, or contact us via this form. Always include your full name, SID, and the name and item number of the class you are trying to log in to. Remember, you cannot log into an online class until that quarter!
 
SSCC has its own student campus email accounts (using GoogleApps4Education, or GA4E), and some online classes or programs require students have one.  Check your Course Listing to see if yours does. You can find out more about your free South Seattle Community College GoogleApps4Education student email accounts (GA4E) by going here: http://sites.southseattle.edu/email/ 
 
Attendance Verification Form:
The Financial Aid department would prefer that your instructor send them proof of your online attendance, following the rules for this. However, you may instead come to the eLearning office in person for a proxy signature. Make sure your form is filled out, including your SID and the item numbers of the online classes you are taking. We will gladly sign for your instructor. Note the correct telephone number is (206) 934-5317.

IMPORTANT: Some online courses are offered through specific programs and require permission to join.  Because these unique courses may not be listed in our course listings you must refer to the information your program's coordinator or instructor has supplied you. If you still have questions about how and when to access your online course please  contact us at eLearning@southseattle.edu, 206.934.7930, or contact us via this form. Always include your full name, SID, and the name and item number of the class you are trying to log in to. We will try to help you log into the online portion of your class.
