Subject: Unlock Your Classes: Complete the MyCourses Roadmap First

Dear Students,

I hope this email finds you well as we prepare for the upcoming Spring 2026 semester. I’m writing with important information about accessing your courses.

Required Action: Complete the MyCourses Roadmap

Before you can access any of your Spring 2026 course shells, you must complete the MyCourses Roadmap: My Digital Backpack course. This one-time requirement ensures you’re fully prepared to navigate our learning platform successfully.

Key Details:

• Available starting December 16th (5 weeks before classes begin) if you are enrolled in classes
• Only required once during your time at the college
• Must pass the final quiz with a score of 80% or higher
• Multiple quiz attempts are permitted until you achieve the passing score

What’s in it for me? Why complete this now?

• Access your courses the moment they open
• Know where to find everything on Day 1
• Avoid the Help Desk rush during week 1
• Start strong while others are still figuring it out

The MyCourses Roadmap is designed to help you navigate our digital learning environment efficiently and access all the resources you need for academic success. By completing this requirement early, you’ll ensure a smooth start to your semester without any access delays.
