If you would like to be scheduled for online courses you must complete the online orientation assessment. This assessment will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Please go to the following website and complete the online orientation:
https://www.ecpi.edu/online/assess/index.cfm or http://students.ecpi.edu (look for the online link.)
Once you have completed the orientation please send me an email. Please take time to review the information listed below. It explains the online procedures, access process, and support.
# 1 –All Students must be approved to take online classes before being registered for online courses. Students who fail to complete the online assessment will be removed from all online classes. So please be sure all students are approved for online classes before the class start date, and be sure any students you register for online classes in the future are approved. The assessment is located at http://www.ecpi.edu/online/assess/
Note: The assessment indicates that students have access to a PC with our recommended hardware & software requirements, etc. – this form is self scoring (for instance if the student says they don’t want to take online classes or their PC doesn’t meet standards they will not be approved) the results are reflected in a student’s Academic Records, School Fields – Online Approved “Approved / Not Approved.” If a student is currently listed as not approved they can re-take the assessment at any time - their most recent “score” is what is loaded, generally within 24 hours of them completing the assessment.
# 2 –The Online Campus offers many classes to support the different majors at ECPI. Many of the in-seat classes for certain majors are not offered online. Please consult with your academic advisor concerning classes you may wish to take online.
# 3 – The books used in the online classes are OFTEN different from their in-seat counterparts. Your textbooks should be picked up from the bookroom on the first day of the new term. The bookroom is located on the first floor on the first week of the new term and stays open until 7:00 pm. Students who wish to receive a textbook after the first week of the term should go to the bookroom located across from the fishbowl.
.
# 4 –A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions ) document has been provided for students who wish to take online classes. This document has proven to be very helpful to students who are taking online classes for the first time..
# 5 –Students are emailed their log in information to their ECPI email account & the personal email account (if any) loaded in the student master screen in campus. If they are having problems accessing their email, etc. you can tell them they can log into their online class by going to www.ecpicollege.com, their username is their StudentID & their password is their PIN (this is the type of information included in the attached FAQ).
I hope you find this information helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
