  For Fall Semester 2006:
  Students who are new to Internet courses at RCCC MUST complete the Orientation by Monday, January 8, 2007 in order to have their course access "turned on" (added to the Blackboard class rosters).  Students who have completed Internet courses at RCCC previously are encouraged to review the Orientation content for important instructions and helpful information. This "refresher" information is found within the online Student Help Desk, which is available to all RCCC registered Internet students each semester, and referenced in each Internet course.
  Internet courses follow the regular semester schedule.  For Spring Semester 2007, classes begin on Tuesday, January 9, 2007 and end on Wednesday, May 9, 2007.   Students are expected to access their course on the first day of the semester to receive instructions and begin their coursework.  Courses are not self-paced. 
  All Internet students MUST access their course(s) by the end of the day on Friday, January 19, 2007 to remain in the course(s). Students who do not meet this deadline will be administratively withdrawn from their Internet course(s).
