Help & Guides
  • Students who have enrolled in a course must log in and view lessons one and two within 13 days after the start date of the course, or they will be automatically dropped
  • We recommend checking the "Requirements" tab for each course as some courses require students to have access to certain computer programs. Additionally, a very small number of courses require a textbook. Cecil County Public Library owns a limited number of those textbooks.
