Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need my own special software?
If you are taking a computer software applications class, you must have the appropriate software package loaded on your PC. The software must be installed in order to participate in these classes as they are interactive, not tutorials. Check the requirements and complete course descriptions for the course you are interested in on our web site: http://www.ed2go.com/cfcc
How do I access my lessons?
Your lessons will be released to you after you have paid for the course and completed the online orientation. Go to the web site http://www.ed2go.com/cfcc and click on 'Orientation'. The orientation must be completed at least two days prior to the start of the class.
Do I need to be online when the lessons are released?
No. The lessons are released at 12 o'clock Noon each Wednesday and Friday. This marks the beginning of the ten days allowed to complete each lesson.
What if I have a question?
An interactive discussion area accompanies all lessons. When you need assistance with a lesson, post your question or inquiry in the appropriate course discussion area. The instructor, his/her teaching assistant, or your fellow students will respond.
When do I access my lessons?
The lessons are available 24 hours a day, every day.
How do I submit my assignments?
Everything is done online. All questions and quizzes will be completed and submitted online.
I've been in my Ed2Go class for two weeks, now my access has been blocked, why?
Ed2Go, a third party vendor based in California, allows students a 2-week grace period to pay tuition. However, North Carolina statute and CFCC policy requires that students be enrolled no later than the start date of the class. Students can only be enrolled if they complete a CFCC registration form and send in the full tuition payment. If you have been dropped from the class, you either did not send in a CFCC registration form or you did not pay your tuition prior to the start date. If you still want to take the class, you will be encouraged to register for the one that begins the following month.
How do I get more information?
Visit our web site: http://www.ed2go.com/cfcc
To Register:
Registration is required no later than one week before the class starts, this includes submitting a CFCC registration form as well as full tuition payment. Payments received without a registration form will be returned to the sender.
**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**: Students who register through Ed2Go, but do not submit a CFCC registration with payment PRIOR TO THE START DATE of the class, will be dropped from the class after a 2-week grace period. Ed2Go allows a 2-week grace period, however, CFCC staff cannot register students after the start date. Please see class start dates below.
