ACT101-N1 Applied Accounting
Online Course - Spring 2008

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 your course password and instructions:

Tuesday, January 22 - 6 p.m. - TECH 101

*Please bring all course materials to this session.

If you cannot attend you must contact me to make alternate arrangements. I can be reached at 636-922-8328 or my e-mail is aboulware@stchas.edu.
