ACTION ITEM FOR Today, Wednesday, January 15: Get to know your technology tools and set yourself up for success!

You can use Navigate for academic course planning, registering for classes, scheduling appointments with a variety of departments, exploring upcoming to-dos and events, asking for assistance, connecting with resources, and even finding study buddies. Download links and learn how to use Navigate.
  • Take advantage of the D2L orientation video – save time and frustration by knowing how to use this valuable tool for all your courses and find the info you need!  Access the D2L Quick Start Guide for Students for more informational videos on D2L. There is also a self-paced D2L student orientation that is located within D2L. All D2L resources can be found on our website. Learn more about D2L now and be ready when courses start! 
  • myACC (the portal) is full of valuable resources and tools!

For an overview video of the new portal in myACC look for the ‘A New Portal Experience’ card.
  • Other helpful information about myACC:
    • Some cards have been locked to your homepage, such as student finance card and your schedule so they are easy to find. You can pin cards to your own homepage if you use them a lot, just click the bookmark in the upper right corner of the card.
    • For those of you who have it bookmarked or are going in through links in documents, you may be kicked into the CCCS portal instead of the ACC portal. To be sure you are in myACC and seeing all of the cards you need to see, make sure you go to: https://experience.elluciancloud.com/ac427. If you are still having issues, try to clear your browser cache or using another browser to access (if you’re using Chrome, try Firefox, etc.). If you’re still having trouble, email marketing [at] arapahoe [dot] edu (marketing[at]arapahoe[dot]edu) and we’ll help you troubleshoot. 
  • Did your laptop break? If you need a device to help you be successful in your remote learning experiences, ACC has a couple of options for you.
    • We now have Laptop Lockers that can be found throughout campus. These lockers are available for students to rent laptops for use within the school for up to 4 hours a day. The locker has a QR code on it for instructions. This link to the instructions will show you pictures of what they look like so you can identify them on campus.
    • ACC may be able to provide you with a loaner laptop (subject to availability). Please let us know by contacting the Dean of Students Office at 303.797.5730 or fill out the online form HERE. 
  • ACC students may print to a variety of printers at each ACC campus location. At the beginning of each semester, students are provided a printing quota equivalent to 250 black and white prints. At any point in time, you may add credit to your print account by contacting the Cashier's office or visiting the Library & Learning Commons on the Littleton Campus. Students at our Sturm Collaboration Campus at Castle Rock who wish to add to their print account may ask for more information at the front desk.
