Just Beginning an ELI course? Here are 10 tips to get you started! Be sure to check your Blackboard course site on a regular basis throughout the semester to make sure you don’t miss any course specific deadlines. Check each folder and read announcements from your instructors. It is important to be aware of Critical Course Deadlines for your courses. In addition, you also want to be aware of course specific deadlines. Get started immediately so you don’t miss any deadlines. ELI Student Life offers various in-person and virtual events throughout the semester to help connect you to peers, faculty and staff. Join us! Take advantage of NOVA’s Library Services from your home computer. You can access resources and references from the Library database with your VCCS username and password. Do you have any general ELI questions? The Live Chat is a great option to ask general questions, but remember your instructors are available if you have course specific questions. Proctor U is an online proctoring service available for some ELI courses. This service gives you the opportunity to take your exams from your home computer using a web cam, microphone and speakers. Try using Smarthinking for 24/7 online tutoring Checking your Student E-Mail Account is important throughout the semester. You will get updates and announcements from your instructor as well as from ELI. Get in the habit of checking this e-mail. 24/7 Tech Support is available from NOVA.
