College notifications

A robust email and cloud computing system is available to all Delgado students hosted by Microsoft. Using Microsoft Outlook 365, you have access to a  50 GB mailbox, group calendaring, shared online documents using Office Web Apps, blogging tools, and much more. Also, because Microsoft Outlook 365 is browser based, students have access to all of these services from virtually any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection (e.g. cloud computing). You are required to check your Delgado email account for important announcements and communications from the College such as instructor communications, financial aid, etc.

• If you are a continuing student admitted prior to Fall 2012, your Delgado email address will be the first initial of your first name and first five letters of your last name, along with a randomly generated number (i.e. doe12345@dcc.edu).

Blackboard / Online Classroom

• At the beginning of each semester, your name will be automatically added into your online Blackboard course site(s). Even if you are not taking and online class, your instructor(s) may use the Blackboard site.
• Your instructor(s) will open your online classroom once they are ready for you to begin work. In most cases, the online classroom will be available on the first day of class. If you do not see your course(s) listed in Blackboard on the first day of class, please contact your instructor using the directory.
• Please review your online course syllabus carefully. Delgado online classes may require proctored (supervised) exams or learning activities associated with verification of the student’s identity. Online students may have the option to go to a Delgado Community College campus/site or to a convenient off-campus location as approved by the instructor. Some courses require use of technology and a proctored testing software or service where additional fees may be assessed. Online proctoring charges are approximately $17.50 per one-hour exams for courses in which online monitoring is required. However, the above proctoring rate is only an estimate as course and testing requirements for online courses vary. Delgado students are responsible for checking with the instructor before the online course begins to ensure that the projected additional costs and the student’s schedule and location enable successful completion of all course requirements.
• For more information about online classes, please see the Blackboard tutorials found on the Blackboard login page. For help with your Blackboard username or password , please send an email to support@lctcs.edu or call 1-866-217-8819.
