"What Do I Need to do to Take an Online Class?"
- Choose the course you wish to take from the printed schedule, GWC’s
Schedule online, or GWC’s Online
Course Schedule.
- If you're not yet a GWC student, apply online, and then register for your classes through www.mygwc.com.
- Visit the bookstore on campus and make sure you purchase your books
from the online section. You may also purchase them online at www.gwc.bkstr.com
with your printout information. (If your book comes in a shrink-wrapped
package, please save all of the papers that are wrapped with it.)
- Visit the OnlineGWC website at: www.onlinegwc.org for general information, and read through the Tutorials.
- You may access your courses in two ways:
- Visit www.mygwc.com and log into your MyGWC portal. Click the Student tab, and under the My Courses channel, you will see a link to view your course schedule.
- Visit www.onlinegwc.org and click the "Log in to your online classes" icon. Log in with your MyGWC username and password, and click any of the course-title links to enter the online class. Be sure to click Browser Check on the log in page to ensure your computer is configured properly for our online courses.
- You will see one or more classes listed. These are all classes you
are enrolled in. Click on the class you wish to enter. (At any point
in time while in the class you may click the “My Blackboard” link
on the top left-hand corner of the page and return to a class list.)
- You may see a license agreement when you click on a course title.
If you see it, please read and agree to the conditions. Following the
agreement will be a page that contains a fill-in which will ask you
for a pin or access code. If you purchased your book new, from the GWC
bookstore, it will be a part of the package. If you purchased your book
used or from another bookstore, it will not be included, but you may
visit www.blackboard.com
or call 1-877-855-3238 to purchase
one with a credit card.
- After this process (which you will not have to repeat), or if no
license agreement appeared, you will enter your course.
- Begin navigating the site as early on as possible to familiarize
yourself with Blackboard. Be sure to check the syllabus. If you have any
questions about the course or how it is set up, please locate the email
program within your course (not connected to your regular email account)
and contact your instructor. If you are having computer or technical
difficulties, please contact the help desk by visiting www.onlinegwc.org/helpdesk
or by phoning the OnlineGWC Helpdesk at (714) 895-8389 between
the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.
- Final grades may be retrieved through MyGWC.
