The Online Orientation is geared for students who have never taken an online course and who would like to learn more about the online environment. Students will learn about their Blackboard account, how to log-on, how to navigate through Blackboard and use tools such as Discussion Boards, E-mail, Quizzes and more. Students will also learn how to access other valuable online resources such as the library. The Online Orientation Orientation is not mandatory, however it is encouraged for students who are new to the online environment.

If you are unable to attend the orientation and would like a private training session, contact the Online Mentor at Blackboardmentor@yccc.edu.

As an online student you will also have access to a Web-based Online Orientation Course which you can access three days prior to the start of your regular class.
