If you encounter any difficulty with this process, please contact the library staff at librarian@nhcc.edu.
Registration and Next Steps
- Register by visiting using NHCC's online registration services.
- Review the Getting Started Student Tutorials. These tutorials will give you an overview of the system and online learning.
- Perform a system check . This will verify that your computer can display course materials.
- Login to online learning. Your course(s) will not be available until the official start date of the course unless the instructor has contacted you with a different start date. If you have any problems logging in, contact the help desk.
- E-mail your instructor if you have any questions about the course and to find out if there are requirements you may need to complete prior to the start time.
- Purchase your books for your online courses. Students are expected to order course books before the first day of classes. Books can be purchased at the NHCC online bookstore or can stop by the campus and visit the college's bookstore in person. To avoid a last minute online rush, you may want to order books up to two weeks before classes start, so your books arrive in time.
