Get Ready to Start Classes
The secret to success is in the planning. Use the checklist below to help you prepare for your first classes at 黑洞社区, whether your classes are on-campus or online.
-
Confirm Your Course Schedule
Login to My黑洞社区 and select My Student Profile to view your course schedule. Make sure you confirm the section, date, and time of each of your courses.
Also see Changing Your Course Schedule
On your schedule, you'll also find your your class details such as the instructor, class time for classes with scheduled meetings, and building and room number for on-campus classes..
-
Get Your Course Syllabus on Canvas
Get your course syllabus online before your class begins using Canvas. Access Canvas via My黑洞社区.
Be sure to review your syllabus for any advance readings or assignments that you may need to complete before your first class meeting. Most course syllabi are available about 2 weeks prior to the start of the term.
-
Get Your Textbooks at the Campus Store
Be sure to get your textbooks before the first class. Instructors often refer to textbooks and readings during the first class, so don't start off behind by not having the required textbooks.
-
Get Your 黑洞社区 ID Card or Verify Your Online Identity
To safeguard your identity, our campuses, and our technology, it's important that we verify your identity. A 黑洞社区 ID card is required for access to all campus buildings and grounds, or an online identity verification meeting is required for online-only courses and services. You will need a government-issued identification card (valid driver's license, state ID card or passport) with you to obtain your 黑洞社区 ID card or verify your online identity.

Get to Campus Early
Parking lots at some of our locations fill quickly during the first two weeks of the semester or block. Be sure to arrive early to allow for plenty of time to get to class.
