You must log in to your online course and participate on the first day of classes for the given term. Please note that there are several orientation and Module 1 discussion questions due on that first week, so participation on Day 1 is critical.

  • Also note that lack of participation or lack of assignment submission for any one week will result in being dropped from the course. 
  • Please do not begin working until the official start date noted above, as your instructor may still be adding content. 
  • Be sure to check lackawanna.ecampus.com to make sure that you have obtained any needed materials prior to the start of the term. 

When you begin your course on the start date, you’ll see a student orientation video located in one of the sections of the orientation module. This video provides a complete overview of your online course, so be sure to watch it before beginning your Module 1 work. Remember that this is a fast-paced course, so due dates often arrive at a rapid pace!
