Pay your tuition and fees
The tuition for REE 201 is $600 for the 2009-2010 academic year, plus a distance delivery fee of $60, for a total of $660.

Purchase your textbook and materials
Visit the Paper Owl Bookstore on the OIT web site to purchase your books and materials online. The book store web site has a special section for Distance Ed, where you can find your REE 201 course and see what you will need to purchase. You'll want to have your books and materials in hand before the class begins.
Login to REE 201 on the first day of the term
On the first day of the term, login to your class on Blackboard CE (formerly called WebCT) after 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. It's a good idea to bookmark the Blackboard CE login page so that you can always access it if OIT's web site is ever offline.
You should have received information about logging into Blackboard CE (including your Blackboard CE user name and password) by email at the address you indicated on your application. If you have not received this Blackboard CE login information by the first day of the term, email helpdesk@oit.edu or call (541) 885-1470 during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, for assistance.
