How to Sign-up
 Online Access
You will need a computer and access to the Internet to take a paralegal
or any other college online course.
Is Online Right for You?
The Paralegal Program and the American Bar Association require that
you carefully consider whether an online course is right for you. Not
everyone has the wherewithal, desire, skill or interest to take an
online course.
Please go the "Is Online Right for You?" section on this website and
follow instructions for self-assessment to confirm that online is the
correct type of paralegal course for you. Then, write a short summary of
your assessment findings. If you decide to pursue an
online course, you will be asked to send your summary by email to your
instructor prior to the beginning of the course.
Registration
Please go ahead and register as if you were registering for a regular, traditional
course. Be sure to read the footnote in the schedule of the course and
follow the instructor's specific directions including the start and end
dates of the class. Most instructors require that you contact them
through an email address at least one week in advance of the beginning
date of the class.
Online registration for courses.
Course Webpage
Once registered, go to
https://info.inverhills.mnscu.edu/d2lLogin/. Follow the directions to
log in. If you have problems, check the "Getting Help" area or send an
email to Technical Support who will assist you.
Getting Started
You should do the following immediately upon activating your online
course:
- Change your password and set up a secret question using the 'My
Password' tool
- Verify your e-mail address is accurate and working; this is a crucial tool that
instructors will use to communicate with you.
You can activate your e-mail account by going to
http://www.inverhills.edu/accounts. You can request assistance using
the "Student technical help" link in the Online Inver Hills section of
the college home page or visit the Computer Lab, 1st floor, Library building.
It is also very helpful if you provide the college with a personal email
address. You can verify or add that information to your student record
using the "Online services login" link in the Online Inver Hills section
of the college home page
or visit the Enrollment Services counter, upper floor, College Center
building.
Finding Your Course(s)
The courses you are enrolled in that are using Desire2Learn (D2L)
this coming semester should be listed under the 2005 Spring section of the "My
Inver Hills Community College Courses" tool. You may need to click the
"+" to expand the semester and department sections of the course
listing.
If a course isn't listed, then you should check
here.
Course Site Availability Dates
Generally, the date set to allow student access into a specific course
site is the start date listed in the Schedule of Courses document. There
are some anomalies and exceptions. If a course appears in the My Inver
Hills Community College Courses tool but you can't access it, then it is
likely that instructor has not allowed access yet.
