As the launching of the new look for the Student Homepage approaches, with the promise of a more modern look and feel that will be even easier to use, we thought we would give students a preview of what they can expect. Three main tabs across the top of the page will make it easy to find your homepage, your course, or your account.
My Homepage Welcomes the student and alerts them to any messages they may have in the Message Center. The Program Status section summarizes your exam, payment, and shipment status and has a convenient button to click on to begin or continue your course. Special Features on the page include Online Courses, Library Services, and Help a Friend.
A menu board, which also appears on the My Course and My Student Account pages, asks the user, “What would you like to do?” Nine choices are available: Take an exam online; make a payment; view your payment, shipment, or grade history; visit the student library; go to the message center; update your account information; or view FAQ.
My Course Page
On the Course page you can view your Grade History. In the Legend box, student homepage icons are identified and their purpose is explained. The Legend box also contains Adobe Acrobat Reader needed to open PDF Files. Two options are available: download the program (Download here), or get help (PDF Help).
Audio and Movie File icons identify files and alert students to additional information. Also in the Legend box are Expand or Collapse options for use on individual modules.
Under Course Description, students can expand modules to view the contents, see the date the module was shipped, the student’s grade, and the date the module was completed.
My Student Account Page
Contains Payment Information (payments, fees, and current balances), Student Information (student name and e-mail address), and Change Information (update my personal information, change my password, and update my e-mail address).
Virtual Tour Knowing that features are only as good as the ability to easily and effectively use them, we created a virtual tour which guides you through each feature on every page. In no time at all, you’ll learn what every feature is, where it’s located, and how to use it quickly and effortlessly.
