As the college uses Google applications as it's virtual learning environment, being able to use Chromebooks in and out of College will make it easier for you to complete coursework and get into apps such as Google Classroom. Once you are logged into your Chromebook using your College log-in information, you are all set to use it in and out of College.
You will also have access to your College's Google Drive so if you want to access any documents made in College, you can access these at home using the Drive.
If you need a Chromebook for your course or to complete any work, you can book out a Chromebook for the full academic year from the Learning Resource Centre. Go to the front desk of the LRC and request to book a Chromebook - you will receive a form to fill out and you can come back to the LRC to pick up the Chromebook once it is available.
If you have any issues logging into the Chromebook, please do contact the front desk of the Learning Resource Centre for more information and assistance.
When you first turn on your Chromebook, you will be asked to choose a Network for you to be able to log into the Chromebook - the network you need to choose is WVR-Student. You will need a Wi-Fi to be able to log into the Chromebook - this years code is 20232024. The Chromebook will then check for updates, this may take some time.
Tip - Make sure that you charge your Chromebook for any lessons and updates.
Once the updates have been completed, you will be taken to an Authentication screen for you to enter your College log-in details - make sure to Accept the Terms of Use before clicking login.
You will then be asked to Sign into your Chromebook - use your College email address and password to do this.
Once this has been done, you are able to use your Chromebook!
