Online Courses Class Schedules

Online classes are taken remotely: at home, in the PVCC computer commons, or anywhere you have access to the internet. Students must enroll in and start a course by the enrollment deadline (enrollment is limited). Students must have access to a computer with an Internet connection, or register to use the PVCC computer lab. All course work must be completed by the official end date. Some online courses at PVCC can be self-paced or staggered start, while others can be structured 16 week format. Please check the online web page to access information for each course.

These classes require reliable web and e-mail access for communication and assignments outside of the classroom.
Prior to beginning an Online class, you will need to:

• Instructions will be mailed to you after you have registered
• Tutorials are available online:   http://www.maricopa.edu/blackboard/support/students/index.php
• Training sessions are available in the Computer Commons:   http://www.pvc.maricopa.edu/bb/session.html

3. Set up your Maricopa email account at:  http://google.maricopa.edu
When you register for a class at any of the Maricopa Community Colleges, you are given a Maricopa email account (through Google).
All college communication will be directed to you though this account.
Your email address will be <yourMEID>@maricopa.edu   Your MEID is a 10 digit alpha/numeric code that begins with the first three letters of your first name.
This will be your permanent code for any semester or courses you take with any of the Maricopa Community Colleges.

4.  Email your instructor that you've read the briefing and are ready to begin class.  This must be done by the start date.
