Online Math at Mendocino College!
What are the requirements for taking Math online?
FALL 2010: Change for Online Math courses
Please note that beginning Fall 2010 you will log into Etudes FIRST. There you will find the online orientation and information to access CourseCompass. For information on accessing Etudes, click here.
All online math classes: Mendocino College offers online mathematics instruction using specialized math software through Course Compass. You will find your specific class instructions by logging into Etudes on or before your first day of class. (Instructors may have their classes ready before the first day of class, but WILL have their classes available by the first day.)
To take classes online you will need an ACCESS CODE. The access code comes with a new book purchased at the Mendocino College Bookstore, or you can simply purchase an access code from the bookstore (and the book will be available online in PDF format.)
If you purchase the book used or elsewhere and it does not come with an access code, you will need to purchase an access code from the bookstore or online. Further, you will need a COURSE ID. The Course ID can be found in the online orientation, which is linked below.
