New resources available for MCC students!

Well, I am very happy to inform you that there are some new resources available to you!

As of this week the 2+2 website (www.sarasota.usf.edu/2plus2) was completely revised and should be more user friendly.

Also, with the help of MCC staff members we developed an online community group in MCC’s ANGEL™. Why is this a good thing?

I’ll speak for myself and a lot of students when I say that while websites are great sometimes it can be hard to find what you are looking for.

The goal of our group “2+2 USF Sarasota-Manatee” is to bascially merge information and resources. Hopefully, by enrolling in the group and exploring you will find what you are looking for with minimal time and effort. With the additional of a calendar and announcements we can communicate essential information to you.

For more information on the types of resources included visit the 2+2 Resources page.

MCC students can enroll in the group by following these instructions:
· Login to ANGEL™ using your MCC email and pin
· Enroll in the 2+2 group:
1. Under "Community Groups" select "Find a Group"
2. Leave the fields blank and select "Search"
3. Locate "2+2 USF Sarasota-Manatee" and select "Enroll"
4. Then select the “2+2” group and start exploring
· Access the resources through the 2+2 USF Sarasota-Manatee community group any time.

Non-MCC/future MCC students may view 2+2 resources through temporary access.
Guest access user name: 2plus2guest
Guest access pin: 1234

Not all resources may be available when using temporary access.

Please explore the new 2+2 site and the 2+2 community group in Angel!

As new resources and information become available I post an update.
