  2. Once you login, you will be prompted to join the SJCC Online Orientation.
  3. Enroll yourself into the orientation.

  4. To complete the online orientation portion, you must download and view the chapter presentations, then complete the quiz with 100% accuracy (It sounds hard, but it is not!) in Canvas.

  • Once you have finished the quiz with 100% accuracy, you have completed online orientation!
