Online Class Access

Online classes can be accessed through MyPima Homepage, MyPima My Courses Tab, and D2L.pima.edu.
PCC's website is not a direct access point for online classes.

Assignments and Due Dates

Assignments, discussions, and quizzes/exams have specific due dates.
Students are responsible for keeping track of these deadlines.

Flexibility in Online Learning

Online classes provide flexibility in learning and completing work at convenient times, but adherence to due dates is still required.

Time Management Responsibility

Students must allocate sufficient time each week for learning, studying, and completing assignments, discussions, quizzes, or exams.

Navigating D2L

Help for navigating D2L can be found through tutorials in the "How do I Access My Classes" module, reaching out to 24/7 D2L support, or reviewing the PCC Brightspace Student Guide.
All these options are valid resources for assistance.

Class Access Timing

Class access begins on the first day of the class, not before or upon registration.

Asynchronous Learning

Asynchronous learning allows students to study the same material at different times and locations, offering flexibility in scheduling.

Communicating with Instructors

Best communication methods with instructors include emailing them with questions or concerns and introducing oneself via email during the first week of class to set up future meetings.

Classmate Connections

Students have access to their classmates' email addresses for communication but should verify appropriateness of contact.

Study Hours Calculation

For four 3-credit classes in a 16-week semester, students should plan for about 40 hours of study time per week to successfully manage learning, studying, and assignments.
