I know it's frustrating when you need help and feel alone. Although you are learning online, we are here for you! Who is "we"? Counselors, student tutors, faculty (including me), librarians, and your peers are ready to help you reach your educational goals. We can help you with your course schedule, choosing classes, finding student aid, receiving crisis and career counseling, getting help with study skills, locating and using resources in the library databases... you name it, we have someone who can help. To locate the service you need, see the CRC Student Support Resources list below.
You can use the Help button on the lower left corner of the Global Canvas Navigation bar of your course to contact the Canvas support team

Remember that I am always available to you. Please email me with any questions or meet me for office hours. As your instructor, I am your first contact for any help you need in this course. If something doesn't make sense, sounds confusing, or you'd just like more information, let me know.
If you're having difficulty using Canvas, let me know. But if Canvas stops working for some reason or you're experiencing technical issues, please see Canvas Assistance below.
Provided that you maintain close contact with me throughout the course, I'll do my best to use my experience to support you. I will strive to anticipate when and where you will need my help and provide meaningful feedback in a timely manner.

Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS)
Students who may need an academic accommodation based on the impact of a disability and who require instructional, curricular, or test accommodations are responsible for making such needs known to the instructor as early as possible. Every possible effort will be made to accommodate students in a timely and confidential manner. Individuals who request accommodations must be registered with the Office of Disabled Students Programs and Services which authorizes accommodations for students with disabilities. The philosophy of DSPS is to encourage maximum independence and personal empowerment through a successful educational experience.
NetTutor and CRC Tutoring Services
We are very fortunate to have tutoring services as part of our course. I strongly suggest you use CRC's tutoring service to help you with your projects in this course. In addition to tutoring offered by the Tutoring Center, you can access free online tutoring through NetTutor. NetTutor is available during hours when the CRC Tutoring Center is closed: Monday through Friday from 6pm-10am and 24 hrs on Saturday and Sunday.
