What is an access code? | |||||||||||

Some
of our courses require an access code to be able to access the course
materials online. These are like buying a study guide online from the publisher. This special software has allowed our instructor to make changes to the content from the publisher to make it their own course. MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY & PRINCIPLES OF NUTRITION are the only classes that REQUIRES AN ACCESS CODE. FOR THE REST OF THE ONLINE COURSES, YOU CAN GET LOGGED ON WITHOUT IT. If you are uncertain, check with the bookstore or e-mail your instructor. |

|
When should I contact my instructor? | |||||||||||
|
You
should contact your instructor a week or two before the semester
starts. You will find instructor contact information on the Cowley web site. Here you will find phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the instructors. Phone or e-mail your instructor and introduce yourself. This will be the start of your course because your instructors want to get to know you. If you enroll after the semester starts, contact your instructor immediately and log into your course right away. Your instructor is looking forward to getting to know you. |
