ACT-101-N1 Applied Accounting

Online Course

Dear Student,

Welcome to St. Charles Community College and "Applied Accounting." This course is designed as an introduction to the accounting cycle. Basic concepts covered include double-entry bookkeeping and examination of basic financial reports. It is intended to be the first accounting course for students who have not taken high school accounting or have not had any accounting experience.

The online option of this course is designed to give you a great deal of time and place flexibility in taking this course. It does require a great deal of self-discipline on your part to do the required work without having scheduled classes. We will use the computer and Internet for most of our interaction and exchanges. In addition, all homework will be completed and submitted via computer so it is essential that you have access to the Internet. I will review this at the MANDATORY ORIENTATION SESSION.

You MUST attend the following orientation to receive instructions regarding how to register on our textbook Web site in order to submit your homework:

5-6 p.m. Tuesday, Jun. 4– TECH 101– Mandatory Orientation*
       (* Please bring all course materials to this session.)

If you cannot attend, you must contact me to make alternate arrangements. My e-mail is aboulware@stchas.edu.

Additional required dates where your presence on campus is required:

4:30 p.m. Thursday, Jun. 27  – Exam 1 – TECH 214

4:30 p.m. Monday, Jul. 29 – Exam 3 – TECH 101

You may buy the text and class supplements from the campus bookstore either in person, by telephone or online via computer: http://bookstore.stchas.edu/.

We will go over how to use the Internet for this course at the orientation session as well as how to complete and submit your weekly homework via the computer. If you have ANY questions, write them down, and we will answer them at the orientation session. I look forward to interacting with you in exploring the world of Accounting.
