Steps for a smooth transition into OC

Check your account summary (student records > account) and course schedule (student records > registration) and confirm your class locations if you are in an on campus class. You will also find student email in your myOkanagan account.
Moodle is the College’s online learning platform providing access to online course materials and more.
