If you have questions once your course begins, please send an email to ed2go.support@ed2go.com. If you have comments or additional questions for DCCC that are not covered above, please send an email to ed2go@davidsonccc.edu or you can go to the help link on the ed2go website.

One final word – the biggest challenge for some students appears to be self-discipline. Some students have difficulty handling the flexibility of the lesson scheduling. You need to set aside time to do the les-sons on a regular basis so that you will not get behind, even with the 10-day grace period at the end of the course. Decide each week when you will complete the lessons and take the quizzes, then do your best to stick with your plan!
