Online Learning Coaches
Are you having a hard time navigating eLearn? Trouble uploading an assignment? The coaches can help. They can also help you get organized for your online learning and provide tips for how you can do well in your classes. They don’t offer tutoring for the class subject matter. But they can help with many other things. It's free and open to all. Students can book an appointment for a virtual meeting.
Free Microsoft Apps
All Vol State students have free access to Microsoft apps like Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Excel. It’s through Microsoft 365. You may find classes that require using those specific programs or ones like them. Normally people have to pay to get the Microsoft Office Suite. So, take advantage of it!
