How do I purchase books?
You can purchase your books from the bookstore if you come to our campus in Forrest City or Wynne. If you cannot come to the EACC Bookstore, the bookstore manager will send the required books to you. For more information and the latest book list, visit the EACC Bookstore online. You can also send an email to the bookstore manager or call 870-633-4480, ext. 307.
How are tests given?
Check with your instructor; usually your exams are given online. However, there are a few instructors that require face-to-face exams. In this case you may be allowed to take the exam close to home by getting a Proctor in your area.
When can I log in to start my class, and how often should I log in?
Online courses follow the same schedule as traditional EACC classes. You will be granted access to your online classroom at 8 a.m. on the first date of the semester. For specific dates, check the Academic Calendar.
Log in to your class as soon as possible. Your instructor takes attendance in the online classroom, and excessive absences are reported. To ensure your success it is recommended that you log in and participate in the online class discussion at least three times each week.
Can I work at my own pace and will I be able to get help when I need it?
Online courses have a set schedule for assignments and testing. When you log in to your class check the syllabus and the calendar for assignments and tests due dates. It is recommended that you print a copy of the syllabus so that you can easily refer to it throughout your course.
