Course Access Instructions
Welcome to the world of online learning! You may have questions concerning how your internet course is going to function. After you have been properly admitted as a student at Boyce College have registered for an online course via the web registration process read the following information very carefully in order to have the greatest possible educational experience.
1. After you have registered for an online course, you will access your course components via Moodle CMS (Course Management System). Log in to Moodle with the same User Name and Password as for Ecampus.
2. If you have registered for an online course that features recorded lectures, they will be streamed from Southern’s secure server, accessible from links on your course site on or near the start of the semester. Keep in mind that fall and spring online courses follow the same semester calendar as on-campus courses.
3. The course video lectures are for registered students only. Do not make copies or share these resources. Due to copyright and intellectual property issues and policies, the video lectures remain the property of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. You must agree to accept a Student User Agreement in order to receive course credit. The agreement must be submitted by the end of the first full month of the semester.
4. To view lectures on your course site, click the lecture icon or link. Depending on your computer’s operating system, the lectures are generally viewed through Windows Media Player. For more information about viewing online course lectures go to the Lecture Viewing Support page.
5. For information concerning other online resources and program policies, please browse the links found on the left of this page. Links to library resources, faculty advisers, textbook and curriculum information, our virtual chapel and much more are available.
6. If you do not intend to remain in an online course, please drop it as soon as possible. Other students need and are hoping to get the seat! If you must drop an online course, please do not simply “not show up”. If you do not properly drop an online course for which you are registered, you will receive a failing grade at the end of the semester.
- To drop an online course prior to the close of web registration, go to your Ecampus and follow the instructions for dropping a course.
- To drop an online course after the close of web registration and before the mid-point of the semester, complete the Course Withdrawal Form and submit it to the Office of Academic Records. You must also return any course lecture DVDs along with the signed Student User Agreements to the Office of Online Learning immediately. In addition, it would be considerate to e-mail the professor so he or she will not have conerns about your inactivity in the course.
7. If you experience difficulty, check this Technical Support page or contact one of the following:
- For difficulty understanding the course material or with specific questions about your course contact your professor or grader by e-mail.
- For textbook needs, you may contact a book dealer of your choice or our campus LifeWay bookstore at (502) 897-4506, email at southernseminary.4689@lifeway.com.
- For difficulty with other online course issues, contact the Office of Online Learning at bco@sbts.edu or at 1-800-626-5525 ext. 4316.
