1 SAMPSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE CCP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ONLINE COURSE ACKNOWLEDGMENT FORM I have attended the dual-enrolled high school student Sampson Community College online course orientation session. I have received handouts for accessing Moodle, SCC (Office 365), and the mandatory online course assessment (MOCA). I understand that all online courses begin on the first day of scheduled classes at Sampson Community College. I understand that I am required to complete a mandatory online course assessment (MOCA) for each online course I take. I understand that my mandatory online course assessment (MOCA) must be completed and submitted via Moodle on or before the 10% point of the semester in order to avoid being dropped from my online course.

Faculty may also communicate with students via course announcements or any other appropriate means. Likewise, students taking curriculum courses are strongly encouraged to communicate with their instructors via Office Popular personal providers, such as Hotmail or Yahoo, are less reliable than Office 365 and hence their use is strongly discouraged for SCC-related electronic communication.

SCC students taking online course that are new to Moodle will be instructed to go to the SCC Moodle Orientation site. A link to the site and an enrollment passkey will be provided with instructions in the online course.
