Announcements
Understand it.
- The Announcements page is the first page of your course.
- Many instructors and mentors use it for timely messages: to announce changes in scheduling or to remind students of fast-approaching deadlines.
Note: Some instructors may choose a different web page as the "first page" of your course site.

Use it.
To access the Announcement area, follow these (1-2) steps:
Step 1. Click the Announcements button or text link.
- After you click the Announcements button, a web page similar to the one below will appear.
- An announcement includes the date on which it was posted, the subject of the announcement, and the message of the announcement.

Step 2. To return to the Announcements area from anywhere on the course website, click the Announcements button.

Use it well.
- You are responsible for any announcement by your instructor, so check the Announcements area at least twice a week.
- As you approach due dates for assignments and exam dates, check your Announcements area more frequently for timely information.
