ACCT 111: Small Business Accounting; Hugh Forbes

Getting started

This is a "hybrid" course which means students are required to attend weekly, on-campus class meetings and to complete assignments and other activities online. For students who are not familiar with the ANGEL online system, general orientation sessions are offered by the College to assist in getting started. (Click on the "Getting Started" link of the ANGEL home page for the course to get more details or go to JCCC.edu, click on "Distance & Online" and then click on "Letter to Online Students.") This is a "late start" course. Check the JCCC Credit Class Schedule for start dates. FINAL NOTE: This class does not satisfy the prerequisite requirement for ACCT 122 (Accounting II) and may not be transferable to other colleges or universities. Contact the Department Chair for the Accounting Program or a counselor in the JCCC Counseling Center for more details.
