Confirmation of your Course Registration

In online classes, keeping up with coursework and participating in the learning activities will contribute to your success. Formal attendance is not recorded, but instructors and the College may contact you to check in if we see that you are not engaging with the coursework. If you are having trouble keeping up, or need an extension on an assignment, please contact your instructor. 

Your course instructional materials will be in the form of eBooks or other electronic materials, software, and/or media which will be embedded into Brightspace. 

There is an email function in Brightspace where students can communicate with instructors. You will be receiving a Robertson Brightspace email address with your enrollment. This will be the fastest way to communicate with your instructors. The College will also communicate with you using your personal email address that you have provided.
