Most online classes use the GeorgiaView system, but a few professors are using other systems. For example, some professors may be using online technology provided by the publisher of your textbook. In these cases, your instructor can provide you with the login and password information that you need to get started on the system.
The European Union Studies Program uses a system at Georgia OnMyLine. The login user name is your Firstname_Lastname_GSW. The password is sent to you by email. If you have further questions, please read the European Union Studies Program login page or contact Dr. Brian Smith (bsmith@canes.gsw.edu).
