Hello ACC Pumas!

Countdown to Spring 2025 and the start of classes continues. Again – welcome to ACC!  This message is being sent to you because you are enrolled in a Spring 2025 course, and we are excited for you to be a part of our college!

ACTION ITEM FOR Tuesday, January 14: Know how your course will be offered!  Do you need to log in and how will that work? Where is your in-person class? What the heck is D2L (Desire2Learn)? 

How does D2L work? 

How do I check how my courses will be offered?

  • Course Schedule: Go to arapahoe.edu.  Select myACC from the top menu. How do I find things in here? Look for a card titled A New Portal Experience and there is a video overview that will help. The My Schedule card will show a quick view of your schedule. The MyCourses (D2L) card will link to D2L and will have information specific to your course.
    • NOTE: D2L courses become available on the first day of class. Before the start date, you won't see the link for D2L. Please use the My Schedule card in myACC to confirm your schedule and plan to log in to D2L on the start date for each of your classes.  
  • Navigate App: You may download the Navigate App and check your schedule via Navigate on your mobile device.  Download links and learn how to use Navigate. 
  • Start Date: Note the DATE the course starts.  Some courses are accelerated and may not start until later in the semester.  Check the date and know when your course starts!
  • Location and Codes: Check out this helpful information on Class Schedule Listing and how to make sense of the abbreviations and codes on the course schedule. Double-check the Campus – which ACC location will your class meet?  Sturm Castle Rock, Legacy, Littleton, or Art & Design?
  • Online Classes: All online courses will have ‘ONLINE’ listed in the course location.  Courses that are ONLINE are offered by CO Online @. 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN??? 

Courses in person will have a ROOM and a day and time. Example: Humanities (HUM 1015 – World Mythology) meets Wednesday nights, 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. once a week in Main 3710 and starts March 19, 2025.  While Spring semester starts the week of January 20, this class is accelerated and does not start until March 19.  I will not physically go to class until March 19 and will check D2L closer to March 19 for specific course instructions. Students can see meeting instructions in myACC, the Registration Tools card for your detailed student schedule. You can find the D2L links in the My Courses (D2L) card. The course title will link to Desire2Learn (D2L).  Locations where ACC in-person classes meet with their building codes, you can find maps on our website:

Castle Rock buildings: ACR = Castle Rock Campus / Sturm Collaboration Campus at Castle Rock

Legacy: ALC = Legacy Campus

Littleton buildings:

  • AA = Annex
  • AD = Art and Design Center
  • AM = Main Building
  • AN = North Building
  • CSB = Church Street Building

Previous Action Items:

You can review the email communication from Monday, January 13 online. 

 

Thanks ACC Pumas!
