[NABS-L] Question about studying abroad and Blackboard

[Sami Osborne]

Hi all,

I'll be studying abroad in Paris, France next Spring semester, which is something I'm really excited about and looking forward to. However, I just received an email from the University I'll be attending saying that before classes start, I'll need to complete an orientation class through Blackboard. Therefore, I was just wondering whether or not you guys know if it's accessible or not. I know this question has already been posed on this list several times previously, however I completely forgot the responses. Also,  if it's not accessible, what should I do to complete this course if it's mandatory (I actually don't know whether or not it is since I actually already have experience traveling abroad and visiting Paris)? Should I contact them and ask them for either an alternative or nothing at all since I already have experience?

Hope you all can help me with this. I'm really excited for my experience abroad!

Thanks,

Sami
