Frequently Asked Questions

General

I don’t have my course textbook. Do you know where I might find one?

Textbooks can be expensive but are really important to support your course material. We’ve been able to identify a few solutions:

  1. Georgian Store is open for online orders
  2. Search Amazon’s used book market
  3. Search Facebook groups for used books: Orillia Georgian College Book Exchange, Georgian College Barrie Book Swap, Georgian College Used Textbooks. Students post their used texts or post as wanted
  4. The library has an open educational resource (OER) guide that offers a search engine and suggestions for some subjects. These might not be your textbook but an OER could have the same or similar content.

Everything asks for my student email address! I don't know what it is.

It is confusing. You login to the student portal, Banner, student mail, and Blackboard using your network login. It's explained here on the Information Technology page.

Your student email address - what people see when they get an email from you - looks like this: firstname.lastname@mygeorgian.ca However, some of our students have the same names so your email address may look a little different. Use this tipsheet to see how to find your student email address.
