How to Complete this Course

Welcome! 👋

We are excited to get to work with you! 👏

This course is in place to guide you through the information you'll need to know as a new student at MCC! To better position you for success, we have found it is important to first acclimate you to the tools and resources you will be using for your course(s)!

It is a good idea to keep this course handy (we will show you how to do that too) even after you complete it as a reference tool! If at any point you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to the Student Success Center (studentsuccess@montcalm.edu).

Joining the Course

This course is set-up to allow you to self-enroll. This is the first, and most important step! It is also very easy! 👍

If you are on a computer, click on the "Join this Course" button in the upper right corner. Then click on "Enroll in Course". Lastly, "Go to the Course".
If you are on a mobile device, tap on the "Join this Course" button at the bottom of the screen. Then tap on "Enroll in Course". You will need to be in a mobile browser, and not the Canvas Student App. Lastly, "Go to the Course".

Now that you are "enrolled" in the course, you will be able to participate in the (small amount of) course activities and receive your badge upon completion. We will explain both items in the sections below.

Course Setup

This course is set-up in a Module format. In short, what this means is the content is organized in Canvas's form of "chapters". Each module will focus on a different area of technology.

It is very important that you click through and read each item in each module - in fact, it is required in order to move on to the next item/module. We tried to keep the content as short and to the point as possible.

Requirements of the Course

Read the content on each page.
Complete the activities in the last module.
Complete prior to taking your first MCC course.

Earning a Badge

As was mentioned, you have an opportunity to earn a badge by completing the requirements of the course.
