Online instructors have course start up requirements (orientations and special course details) available in the course syllabus at least one week before the start of each course.

To find the syllabus for your course, go to your instructor's individual faculty web page and look for the syllabus. Faculty websites are available at http://www.lssc.edu/faculty.

Blackboard login access is avaialble at http://lssc.blackboard.com. First time users should click the link on the Blackboard Login page labeled First Time Users and follow the instructions there.

To learn about how to use Blackboard, go to Blackboard's student tutorial website. From there, you can learn how to submit assignments, post to a discussion board, check your grades and much more.

If you have a technical support issue, like a forgotten password, please send an email to helpdesk@lssc.edu from your LakerMail. You can access LakerMail at http://www.lssc.edu/mail .

In your email to Helpdesk, please include:

• Your name as it appears in LOIS
• Your course number, course title and instructor's name
• A brief description of the problem or technical issue

Please do not phone IT. If your email (often called a "work order") is not answered within the next business day, email Kyle Cole at ColeK@lssc.edu from your LakerMail.
