Orientation for Open Campus

Orientation is required for all Open Campus classes at ACC. If you have not completed orientation by the end of the first week of the semester, you may be dropped from the class. Note that the responsibility for dropping this class the student's (see the course syllabus). I strongly recommend that you attend one of the Scheduled Orientations listed below. If this is impossible, you may complete the Online Orientation (also below).

Day	Date	Time	Location
Saturday	9/18/99	noon - 1 PM	RGC room 124

Day	Date	Time	Location

Online Orientation

First, read and be sure you understand and agree with the statements in the Orientation Agreement below. If there is anything you are unsure of, you should attend one of the scheduled orientations listed above.

Orientation Agreement

I have read the description of who should enroll.
Through classroom or work experience, I have gained a good understanding of some structured programming language (for example, Pascal, Cobol, C, Basic or Fortran). I have written introductory level programs involving the concepts of interactive input/output, branches, loops, subprograms with value and reference parameters, file input/output, arrays, and records.
I understand most if not all of the concepts listed in the course prerequisites.
I understand that taking a course through open campus is generally more time consuming and more difficult than taking a lecture class, and that students in lecture classes are generally more likely to succeed in the course.
I have read the course syllabus and understand the requirements for the course.
I understand that the instructor will not automatically drop me from the class roll if I do not make progress in the course.

To complete the orientation, send me an email at comer@austin.cc.tx.us with the following:

The Subject line of your email message should be: your last name, your first name, " online orientation completed".
Copy the 6 statements in the Orientation Agreement above and paste them into the body of your email message.
In the body of your message, please include the campus where you expect to take your exams (CYP, EVW, FBG, NRG, PIN, RGC, ROR, RVS, SMC). You may take your exam at any campus Testing Center - this is just to give me an idea of how many tests to send to each campus.
The Open Campus administration requests that you include your name,mailing address, and telephone number in the body of your email message.

You have completed the orientation. I look forward to working with you this semester.
