What's next? Checklist

Here's what to expect once you've submitted your registration:

  1. Your school's DLC Registrar will give you login information for your DLC email account (hosted by www.gaggle.net). You can access your email within 24 hours of registration. Check your DLC email account on your course start date for a "welcome" email and other important information (see note below about UW courses).
  2. The Registrar will tell you who your Teacher/Mentor will be. The Registrar will also let you know how and when to access your online course during the school day. Make sure you know when your online course starts!
  3. Any textbooks or materials ordered for courses in the registration process will be sent to the attention of your Teacher/Mentor. Keep in touch with your Teacher/Mentor during the first few days of your course to make sure you get these materials.
  4. Some course providers require students to complete an orientation before starting the course; others just have orientation information available. The DLC highly recommends that you take the time to orient yourself to your course as soon as possible so that you don't miss anything important!

While you're waiting for your course to start, take a tour of the Start-Up Demo Accounts. You'll get practice accessing online courses. And you know what they say: Practice makes perfect!

The University of Washington will not send "welcome" emails. Letters will be mailed to your Teacher/Mentors, providing information about UW Net IDs and start-up procedures. Student VHS login information is found within the DLC registration system by the Teacher/Mentor assigned to work with the student.
