Steps to Success
Step 1: You must have access to a computer that is connected to the Internet to take an online class.
Step 2: Your computer must be configured properly - it must accept cookies and not block pop-up windows from PimaOnline.
Step 3: Most online courses are not self-paced unless designated as such in the class schedule - you must log in the first day of class and complete assignments according to a schedule set by your instructor.
Step 4: Blackboard Vista is the PimaOnline course management system.
Step 5: To log in to Blackboard Vista you must use your MyPima User ID and password.
Step 6: If you can't log in to Blackboard Vista, send your name, your course number and CRN (section code) and your MyPima User ID via email to pimaonline@pima.edu.
Step 7: When you successfully log in and see your My Blackboard Vista page appear, click on the name of your course to enter it.
Step 8: When you first enter your online class, carefully read all of the course introductory materials, especially the syllabus and any "read me first" pages.
Step 9: If you have any questions, contact your instructor immediately via the Blackboard Vista email tool built into your course.
Step 10: Finish all assignments, discussions, and quizzes by the deadlines set by your instructor.
Again, most online courses are not self-paced unless designated as such in the class schedule.
