Let your professors know right away if you have online learning challenges related to technology, so you and they can strategize about workarounds and alternatives. Faculty are very aware of this possibility and in many cases have already thought of solutions. Everyone will need to be creative and flexible. But faculty cannot help you if they do not know what challenges you are having.
You should also check with SLU's Information Technology help desk (helpdesk@stlawu.edu, 315-229-5770), which might be able to suggest possible solutions, such as setting up a wireless hotspot via your cell phone.
