Online Tips and Resources: Here are some tips to maximize your academic success. 

Saddleback provides a student online support website which you may wish to access.  It can be accessed from the Saddleback College homepage.  If you are new to blackboard, Click on "Online Education” at the top of the page and then on “Student Technical Support” in the dropdown box.    Here you will find help for both new and returning students. If you have never taken an online course at Saddleback, a quiz is provided which will help you gauge whether this is a format that might work for you.  Just click on "new students" for access. 

Once the course has begun, you will find online support in the "Online Support Center" in the drop down box.  There you will find answers to many frequently asked questions as well as a link to a person who can assist you with any questions you might have.
