• Student Technologies Orientation

    Welcome! This orientation is designed to give an overview of the technologies you will need to be a successful student at BCC.  Additionally, there are introductions to the services available to you at BCC.

    To complete the orientation, start with the first section, looking at each item in order. Some of you may want to go to the computer help sites; some of you may not need to complete that section.
