5 Key Things to Remember• Save your work. Click on Submit to save to GradeBook. If there is not

any activity on the computer within 5 minutes the system will lock you out and you will lose your work. If you leave the window without saving your work you will lose it.

• Establish a weekly routine immediately. You must be on-line at least 10 hours a week and submit an equal number of assignments or you will face being dropped for lack of productivity.

• Stay in contact with the instructor: Your teacher is only a phone call or e-mail away from you. They are the main source for information and clarification.

• Do not quit! Failure to complete the course by the end of the semester will result in an F.

• The final must be completed at an IRSC testing center.• Ask your instructor if a midterm is required to be completed there

also.
