If you have access to your student portal, and can see the list of classes, you should be able to access them yourself.

When you go to your portal, click on "My Degree Plan" at the top. It will bring the list of courses you will take for the program. Click on the title of any of the classes, and it will pull up that class's info. At the top of the left side margin is "Assessment Preparation" with an arrow like this >. Click on the arrow and it will bring up a white box. In the white box is a green button that says "Preview" - click that button and it will open a new page where it will have a bunch of headers along the top. Click on the last header, which should be the name of the class, and it will open up all the tasks for that class. Under each task is "directions" which will tell you exactly what you need to do for that task.

Perfect, thanks!
I'll also reiterate that you'll need to ask your mentor to add C228 (Community Nursing) to your first term if you ever hope to finish the degree in one term. It is a prerequisite to part 2 (C229).

Just the worldwide web. There are certain webinars and things that your mentor will suggest to assist you in various classes.

Very thankful for this whole section on WGU! How many units did y'all transfer?

I started the program in May 2014 with 86 credits. The transcript evaluator granted 50 units of en bloc credit for my active RN license and another 36 credits of humanities, science and liberal arts coursework had been accepted for transfer credit.

In other words, I started the program needing to complete 34 credits. I've completed 21 credits as of yesterday, so I have 13 more to do before I earn the BSN.
