Login Directions:

Go to the Moodle web site and follow the directions below to log in.

Read the current Online Student Guide for your class. This is available on the Moodle home page.

Your classroom might not open until the first day of the term. The accounts take three business days to appear in the Moodle server after you register for the class.

If you do not know your student identification number, you can log into the Student Information System using your social security number, but that only works if you gave the college your social security number.
