- 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. No one contacts you. To get your course information go to Course Listings and follow directions to access your class. Everything you need is there!
- All of our online classes start the first day of each quarter (with the sole exception of LIB180). Check your Course Listings for details. Some courses open their websites early so students can become familiar with it before the quarter begins. Check your course listing to see if yours is one of these.
- Tuition is due within 7 days of Registering, or within 24 hours after the quarter begins. Students with outstanding tuition will be dropped by Registration. Please read here: http://www.southseattle.edu/services/payment.htm
- Please 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.
- Need to drop a class? The eLearning office does NOT drop students from their classes. Students needing to drop a class can go to the main campus website (www.southseattle.edu) and click on Student Online Services. Click on Register/Add/Drop and preform this function.
- 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 request a student email account by going here and filling out the form: http://sites.southseattle.edu/email/ You MUST include your SID.
- Attendance Verification Form: The Financial Aid department would prefer that your instructor send them proof of your online attendance, following the rules for this (check with your instructor or the Financial Aid office). However, you may instead come to the eLearning office in person for a proxy signature. Make sure you have logged in to your online class prior, your form is filled out, including your SID and the item numbers of the online classes you are taking.
- 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 call the eLearning office at (206) 934-7930.
