How to Access ANGEL Online, Web-Enhanced and Hybrid courses
When can I start my online class?
The start and end dates of online classes mirror those of the College's on-campus classes. You should have access
to your ANGEL section no later than the first day of class. If you do not, email your instructor for an update on
the status of the class.
What is the username and password that I use to access ANGEL?
Your ANGEL username and initial password are based upon information in your Student Records from your
college’s Banner system. The web address is http://atlantatech.angellearning.com/default.asp.
The format for your ANGEL Username and Initial Password are:
Username: 23_9XXXXXXXX, where 9XXXXXXXX is your College Student ID Number.
Initial Password: 23_9XXXXXXXX On your first login, ANGEL will require you to change your password.
If you do not recall your Student ID you may have to login to your college’s Banner system to retrieve your ID.
I tried to login to ANGEL, but I have forgotten my password. What should I do?
On the ANGEL login page, click the "I forgot my password" link, and follow the instructions to reset your
password. You will need to know the email address in your ANGEL account. This is the same account issued by
your college. If you were not given a college email account it will be the one you gave the college to use.

How to Access ANGEL Online, Web-Enhanced and Hybrid courses (Continued)
I logged into ANGEL, but one or more of my classes are missing. What should I do?
There are several instances when this might happen:
The first instance is when your instructor has not opened up the class for your use. Email your instructor if it is an
online class, or speak with your instructor at your next class meeting, and check on the status of the missing class(es).
The second instance is when your instructor does not use ANGEL with your class. If you think you are supposed to
have access to a course on ANGEL that is associated with your on-campus course, please contact your instructor for the
status.
The third instance is when you are not registered for the class. Please confirm with your instructor and/or student
services that you are registered for the class.
I have never used ANGEL before. Is there something that I can read to help me get started?
There is an excellent document entitled "ANGEL Student Quick Start Guide" You can access the web address below.

Course Schedule Options
Lecture Course -- Lecture courses are traditional classroom courses.
Hybrid Course -- Hybrid courses are taught partially via the Internet and partially via the classroom. Hybrid courses
differ from web-enhanced courses in that web-enhanced courses are assigned to a classroom for every contact hour
described in the course catalog.
Online Course -- Online courses are taught using the Internet with the bulk of the course content, activities and
interactions occurring online. Online courses may require an on-site component and that component must be
detailed in the course catalog.
Web-Enhanced Course -- Web-enhanced courses are traditional classroom courses that use the Internet as an
important component of the course. The web-based component of the course supports classroom instruction and
may require students to use the Internet in order to interact with one another and the instructor, to review content,
do research, complete and/or submit assignments, or take tests. Typical web-enhanced courses will include several
of the following elements online:
Syllabus, Calendar, Readings, Resources, Bibliography, Glossary, Links to Professional
Organizations, Current News, Lecture Notes, Listserv, Discussion Board, Tests
