Instructions for accessing your virtual class are emailed at least 3 days prior to the start of your class.&nbsp; If you do not receive an email from your instructor by that time, please contact the PPL front desk at 734-462-4448 or email us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:ppl@schoolcraft.edu\">ppl@schoolcraft.edu<\/a>, to confirm your preferred email address is correct in our database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Online classes<\/strong>&nbsp;can be accessed any time of day, any day of the week.
