Registered Students

Happy faceTuesday, January 17 and Wednesday, January 18 are the first day of class.  Failure to show up on the first day of class will forfeit your position on the roster.  On this date registered students will have full access to the class website: Desire2Learn (also known as D2L).  If you have never used D2L, instructions to log in are available on D2L's homepage.  Click on the link below to log into D2L.  Make sure to bookmark it as a "Favorite."  All assessments are administered through this class website.

First Week

Failure to show up on time for any class during the first week will result in being dropped from the roster without possibility of being re-enrolled.  DO NOT miss class or arrive late during the first week of the semester.  Class will begin promptly as scheduled.

Pre-Requisite Verification

Registered students must have completed one of the following prerequisite combinations prior to the start of the semester to be enrolled in this class:

  • ENGWR 102 and ENGRD 116 with a grade "C" or better

  • ESLW 320 and ESLR 320 with a grade "C" or better

  • or placement through the assessment process at the Assessment Center

Courses completed at ARC or in the LRCCD system can be verified by the professor, however it is the responsibility of students having completed these courses outside of the district to bring in verification of completion prior to or on the first day of class.  Failure to do so will result in being dropped from the roster.

Wait Listed Students

Anxious Smiley FaceI will be distributing permission numbers to students on the wait-list during the first week of class only, based on available spots on the roster.  Failure to show up on the first day of class will forfeit your position on the wait list.  Students given a permission number will have 48 hours to officially add the class.  Access to the class website (http://d2l.losrios.edu) will be available within 48 hours after official registration with eServices.

Note: I will never distribute permission numbers by email or voicemail.  Interested students must attend the first day of class.

First Week

Pre-Requisite Verification

Waitlisted students must have completed one of the following prerequisite combinations prior to the start of the semester to be eligible for enrollment in this class:

  • ENGWR 102 and ENGRD 116 with a grade "C" or better

  • ESLW 320 and ESLR 320 with a grade "C" or better

  • or placement through the assessment process at the Assessment Center

Other Students

Worried smiley faceI will be distributing permission numbers to interested students on a first-come-first serve basis, based on available spots on the roster only AFTER my wait-listed students.  It is highly unlikely that students not on the wait list will receive a permission number however interested students can still attend class during the first week in hopes of getting a permission number. 

Only those students who can verify completion of the required prerequisites will be considered.

Note: I will never distribute permission numbers by email or voicemail.  Interested students must attend the first day of class.
