Get Ready for Your First Class
Once you're registered, take some time to get familiar with the tools, resources and information you'll need as a ¹ú²úÂ×Àí student.
Know Where You're Going
If you're taking classes on a ¹ú²úÂ×Àí campus, and see parking and transportation information before your first day.
Register for Your Classes
After meeting with your ¹ú²úÂ×Àí academic advisor, you'll be ready to register for your approved courses.
Registration is completed through FlashLine. ¹ú²úÂ×Àí's Registration & Records resources provide instructions for registering for classes, along with information about registration dates and deadlines.
Meet With Your Academic Advisor
College Credit Plus students are required to meet with a ¹ú²úÂ×Àí academic advisor before scheduling courses.
During your appointment, you and your advisor will discuss your academic goals and choose courses that fit your needs. Your courses must also fit your middle or high school schedule and be approved by your school counselor.
Complete CCP Orientation
Your online orientation is offered through Canvas, ¹ú²úÂ×Àí’s online learning platform used for courses, assignments and other academic activities.
Here’s what to watch for:
- First, you’ll receive your congratulatory welcome email with instructions to logging into FlashLine.
- One day later, you will receive your orientation email and instructions.
Tip: You cannot access orientation until you’ve logged into FlashLine.
Start Checking Your ¹ú²úÂ×Àí Email
Once you're admitted, ¹ú²úÂ×Àí will begin sending important CCP information to your ¹ú²úÂ×Àí email account.
Check it regularly for information about orientation, advising, registration and other steps you'll need to complete before classes begin.
Tip: Continue checking the personal email address you used on your CCP application as you complete the admission process, too.
Set Up Your ¹ú²úÂ×Àí Account
Your ¹ú²úÂ×Àí account gives you access to the university systems and services you'll use as a CCP student.
Follow the instructions you receive after admission to establish your account and log in to FlashLine, ¹ú²úÂ×Àí's student portal.
You'll use FlashLine to access important student information and services throughout your time at ¹ú²úÂ×Àí.
