LAST...Distribute Enrollment Instruction
Your Student Handout includes EVERYTHING your students need to successfully enroll in your course.
- If you will be integrating your course, be sure to have that completed before accessing the Student Handout because instruction will change.
- Students can make any needed purchases during the enrollment process.
- Student Handouts are unique to each Section of a Course.
