Note: You will not be able to access your online course until the first day of class. No classes will be offered through BlackBoard. All ACC online courses will be taught using Moodle: http://moodle.alamancecc.edu/

Prior to registering for an online course, you should take this Self-Assessment.

---

1. Before the semester starts you should e-mail your instructor (or the department head) and tell them you have registered for their course. You can access the instructor or department head e-mail address at:

http://www.alamancecc.edu/distance ed/curriculum courses programs/onlinecourses.php

2. The first day of classes you should set up your ACCess e-mail account. This is the e-mail account that your instructor will use to communicate with you throughout your Moodle course.

• Go to https://my.alamancecc.edu/#setupaccount
• Fill out the form and submit.
• Log-in to "My ACCess” https://my.alamancecc.edu/ (remember your ACCess userID and password)
• Log-in to "ACCess Email" http://access.alamancecc.edu/
  

3. You may log-in to Moodle before the first day of class, but your enrolled courses will not be visible until the very first day of each semester.

• Go to www.alamancecc.edu
• Click on the green Distance Education tab
• Go to the Moodle Log-In tab (or simply go to
  http://moodle.alamancecc.edu)
  
• Type in your username and password in the upper right-hand side of the screen (refer to #2 above to figure out your username and password)

4. If your home computer does not have Mozilla Firefox as an Internet browser, install it by going to the free download site:

While ACC does recommend that you use Mozilla Firefox, we cannot accept any responsibility for any problems you may encounter with installing or using Firefox or any other software you may acquire for use with Moodle or any of your online courses.
