Welcome!Hello and welcome to Manchester Community College. In an effort to serve the students of MCC and the environment, MCC is going “green” with the introduction of this Enrollment Guide. Class schedules will no longer be printed; you may go online at http://my.commnet.edu for complete course information.

The Enrollment Guide serves degree and certificate-seeking

It contains information so that you can successfully enroll in classes, including important dates and deadlines for admissions, financial aid, testing, registration, and payment of tuition and fees. It also provides answers to many commonly-asked questions, including phone numbers for all of our offices and program coordinators.

I hope that this guide becomes a valuable tool that you will continue to use throughout your time here at MCC. Good luck and thank you for making MCC your college of choice.

Distance Learning CoursesStudents must know how to use a computer and have high-speed Internet access to successfully participate in distance learning courses. MCC offers three types of distance learning courses that are listed under “Instructional Types” when you select “Course Search” on myCommNet. They are:

• onLn: Fully online courses. All ONLN courses take place online through Blackboard Vista, MCC’s course management system. Instructors may also use other online tools, such as publisher’s websites or wikis.

• oLCr: Online courses with on-campus requirements such as tests or orientations.

• HYBr: Hybrid courses. In a HYBR course, students will have scheduled on-campus class meetings and online coursework and interactions. The number of on-campus meetings may vary according to instructor, so students should check their schedule carefully.

Although MCC’s online courses provide flexibility that allow students to access information and participate in course discussions anytime and anywhere via a computer and an Internet connection, these are not self-paced courses. Just as in any MCC course, students will have weekly deadlines for assignments, discussions and assessments.

The content and expectations in an online course are the same as in an on-campus course at MCC. Online courses require a great deal of reading and writing, as well as strong computer literacy and time management skills.

If you have never taken online classes, contact the Educational Technology and Distance Learning Department (ETDL) at [email protected] for a login to SmarterMeasure, a self-assessment that will help you decide if online learning is right for you. Students should also review the information on the ETDL website at http://www.mcc.commnet.edu/students/resources/distanceStudentVista.php. This site includes information about how to log into Blackboard Vista, where to get help, technical requirements for your computer and other resources.

To access your online class material using Blackboard Vista:

1. Log-in to http://my.commnet.edu using your NetID and password.

2. Click the “Blackboard Vista” link on the upper right of the window.

3. In the “My Courses” channel, click to access Blackboard Vista.

4. Select your course from the course list on the “myBlackboard” page.

5. Logoff when you have completed your work.
