Getting Started

Getting started with online learning is in many ways the same as getting started at SRJC. First, fully explore the Online Learning Web site to access the wealth of information that is available on the Santa Rosa Junior College Web site.

Orientation

If you are new to SRJC, another important step is to participate in the Student Online Orientation. It provides a basic overview about how to apply, identify educational goals, and access resources and services. As you consider these Orientation options keep in mind that the more time you invest in the orientation process, the higher your return in success at SRJC. You might complete an online orientation and an in person orientation to give you an opportunity to meet SRJC staff members and other students.
