After You Have Registered

You can expect to receive a Welcome Letter with your course information on the Friday before classes begin. This message will be sent to the e-mail address that is connected to your eID (see below). If you wish to receive CSU e-mail at a different address, you will need to log onto RamWeb and change your contact information. Please be sure to read all information contained in the Welcome Letter.

Textbooks are available through online booksellers or Kris Townsend in the bookstore.  Kris may be reached at 970-491-1658 or kris.townsend@.colostate.edu.  The textbook information for your course may be found at our Distance Course Descriptions.

Computer software is required for many of our courses. This information will also be found at our Distance Course Descriptions. Please contact our distance office for information on obtaining the software for your course.

Access to RamCT (Blackboard) is needed for all of our courses except STAT 699.  If you don’t have an eID set up from registration, it is imperative you obtain an eID as soon as possible in order to be able to access RamCT and RamWeb.  To obtain a CSU eID, go to http://www.eid.colostate.edu.  You will need to use your CSU ID # to set up your eID.  If you do not yet have it, call 970-491-5288.  

As soon as you have an eID, you should automatically be added to the RamCT class list for your course.  If your course does not show up on your RamCT page by the first day of classes, please contact our distance office.

After your eID is set up, please log onto RamWeb to check your contact information. Please make sure that your mailing address is current and that your e-mail address is an account that you check regularly. Your course lectures will be sent to your mailing address. Note: We prefer a street address over a PO Box, as we prefer to send course lectures via UPS. Your Welcome Letter, as well as all e-mailings from our office, will be sent to the e-mail account listed on RamWeb. If this is not an account that you check frequently, please change it to one that you do.

Proctor agreements are required for many of our classes. Your Welcome Letter will contain information on whether or not you will need a proctor for your course. If you wish, you may begin locating a proctor for your course using these guidelines:

• Proctors may be:  college or university testing center representatives, military educators, pastors or ministers, continuing education officers, librarians, certified schoolteachers, school principals, or supervisors. These individuals must not be related to you.

• Proctors may not be:  fellow students, subordinates of the student, coworkers/colleagues, peers, friends, neighbors, and must not be related to the student in any way.

If your proctor will be away at any time during the semester, you may submit a 2nd proctor form for a backup with clear indication of the related dates. We have separate forms to accommodate testing centers, libraries, or situations which would require more than one proctor.

Feel free to e-mail our office at stats_ddp@mail.colostate.edu  with questions or concerns or call 970-491-5268.
