If your course is an Online or Hybrid class, you will need access to ETUDES, Easy To Use Distance Education Software.

 

Please review the information on West Los Angeles College’s (WLAC) Online Classes website at http://www.wlac.edu/onlinewhere you will find links for course information including the Bookstore for required materials.  Click on the Course Login link on the left menu for login instructions, Technical Requirements and videos on How to Login, Navigate within Etudes, Read & Post in the Discussion area.

 

If you need to speak to someone in the Distance Learning Office, please call 310.287.4305 and anyone in the office can assist you.

Please note that all classes do not start and end on the same date.  Please carefully review the dates and times above.  If your course has an ETUDES component, you will not be able to access your course before the first day of the actual class. If you have not logged in and participated by the end of the first week of class you WILL be dropped. Students who are dropped WILL not be reinstated.

 

You may access your online class by logging in at this URL:   http://etudes-ng.fhda.edu/portal

 

Your login ID is the first 2 letters of your first name + the first 2 letters of your last name + the last 5 digits of your Student ID Number (not your social security number).   If you do not know your new Student Identification Number you can look it up using the Student Information System (SIS) at http://www.laccd.edu 

 

If this is your first ETUDES NG class your password is your Month and Day of birth. However, since NG passwords are permanent, if you have already taken a NG class your password has not changed. Many students who have taken NG classes from us earlier have the password “student”.

 

Example: Juan Straub, 88-459-0210, born July 4

* User ID: just90210

* Password: 0704

 

After you login you will see a list of the courses you are enrolled in on the top menu bar to the right of My Workspace. Just click on a course number to access a course. Once you have entered the course, use the left-side menu to navigate the course.

 

If you have trouble accessing the course on, or after, the start date visit the Online Student Help Desk athttp://www.wlac.edu/online/helpdesk.asp .  Click on Helpdesk Rules where your issue is likely addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions section. If not, post a message explaining the problem or contact the WLAC Distance Learning Program Office at (310)287-4305 or via email: ichone@wlac.edu.

 

Remember, you will not be able to access the course prior to the first class day, so you will not know if you have a login problem until then. Do not share your login ID with anyone.

 

Best,

 

Nikki Mehrpoo Jacobson
