Distance Learning Orientation Materials

Online Courses
It is strongly encouraged that new online students go through the Blackboard Tutorial, (Online Orientation). By completing the Tutorial, you will learn how to log-in and navigate through the Blackboard® course management software. You can either view the tutorial on our website, or come to a live session at the Rocklin Campus.

Please note: If you use Internet Explorer, you should also go through the Browser Tune-up so that it will have the plug-ins needed to use the Blackboard Online Course management system.
