Taking advantage of online technology, the Learning Network connects college instructors and students to each other through their computers. As an online student, you can get and complete homework assignments, participate in class discussions, do research, and question your instructors all online. Even exams and papers may be completed through the electronic connection.

GETTING STARTED

Please log onto the website at least one week in advance
to request your password and instructions needed to take the class.

If you have technical difficulties,
DO NOT WAIT TO CONTACT THE HELP DESK!
(1-800-875-6269) or (HelpDesk@SLN.suny.edu)

ONCE THE CLASS HAS STARTED
IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO CATCH UP WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENT.

1. HOW DO I GET STARTED IN A SUNY LEARNING NETWORK COUSE?

Go to the main SLN website located at http://sln.suny.edu and select the link for "Students". This takes you to the SUNY LEARNING NETWORK login page.
If you have never accessed an online course through SLN, you will have to click on the link "Create SLN account". If you have already taken courses through SLN or have forgotten your password, there is a link "forgot your password" you can click.
When you click on this link, SLN will automatically test your computer system to make sure it is adequate to handle the online course.
You will then continue to create an account by clicking on the green button "yes, create account".
The following steps are self-explanatory. You must check whether the course is an SLN course OR Course Space/Blended course and then select the campus(es) where you will be registering for the course(s).
The final page has a REQUIRED top section that MUST be completed before you can continue. Once you have completed this section, you will be asked what course(s) you are registered for and there will be a check-off box that will allow you to check each course accordingly.
You will then be asked to provide personal information such as SS#, name, phone, email address, and address. You will also be required to choose a password. Upon completion of this information, you will click on the button to submit
