Accessing Courses
Doral College has partnered with Colēgia to simplify student access to important resources. Colēgia provides a streamlined single sign on portal for students and instructors which makes the process of logging in to access courses and student records easier than ever.
Why is it important?
Colēgia has simplified and streamlined access to information as well as the ability to log in to your courses and retrieve student records. It's also the communication hub where you can access communications from Doral College in your email and via update notifications in Colēgia itself.
