Reminders:
As a college student, you have a DCC email address. If you're new to college, you might not know how to access that email account yet. See "New to college?" below. Make a habit of checking your college email at least a few times a week!
Did you know that you can get your college emails on your phone by downloading and setting up the free Outlook app? Try it and ask you're coaching if you need help.
New to college? Make sure to complete the following steps to be on track:
Complete the online freshman orientation here. NOTE: You do NOT need to sign up for a placement test, so please ignore that part.
Click here to learn how to log in to your DCC email and Canvas (the college's learning management system where many of your teachers will post homework, tests, and grades).
If you have any questions about setting up your email or using Canvas, please talk with your coach next week.
