Are you ready?

Log into MyPath and check your Student Self Service.

• Check your To-Do List by clicking on “Tasks” from your Student Homepage.
• Check your course schedule for class days & times.
• Check your class notes to see if they are live stream, in-person, or completely online.
• Watch this video for a walk-through of your student self-service account. 

Check your Financial Aid status or make payment arrangements.

You have a variety of payment options that you can use. Tuition and fees may be paid via cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Current students (those already enrolled) can make tuition payments on-line using their Student Self-Service account.

We also offer a payment plan that enables you to pay tuition and fees during the course of the semester. Learn how to sign up for a payment plan here.

Be sure to make payment arrangements prior to the first day of class to avoid being dropped from your course(s). You can find tuition due dates and other important dates on the Academic Calendar.

Are your classes live stream, in-person, or completely online?

• Not sure how to access a class in Blackboard Collaborate? Learn here.
• Understand the different class formats in this short video.

Most importantly, make sure you attend your first day of class to prevent being dropped as a no show. If you are taking an online class, you need to submit an assignment, participate in a discussion or take an exam or tutorial to prevent being dropped as a no show.  

Being dropped as a no show or dropping a class before it starts can impact your financial aid and may result in you owing money back to the college. 

Stop by our "Are you Ready?" sessions to get all your questions answered and be sure you are prepared to start the semester off right.

Are you Ready? Sessions

Get your Gateway email on your iPhone or Android. Read your Gateway email daily for important announcements and notifications. This is the main way your instructor, advisor, and financial aid will contact you – don’t miss out!  

A syllabus is a document outlining essential course information, including topics you’ll study, due dates, resources, and policies. You can access your syllabus in Blackboard via MyPath once your instructor opens their course. Timing for course access varies by instructor and course start date. If you can’t access the course by the first day of class, contact your instructor.

Ultimately, you are responsible for getting access to all the textbooks and other materials you need for your courses. Some material may be available electronically as digital content. Digital content charges are separate from tuition, and you are responsible for these charges unless your high school or school district pays for them.
