The difference between "credit" and "non-credit" online classes
With credit online classes, students can earn college credit toward one of 快色视频's degree, diploma, or certificate programs. Credit online classes begin and end according to the academic calendar. Some credit online courses are transferable to four-year colleges and universities.
Noncredit online classes, offered through the college's Continuing Education department, provide a wide range of opportunities to advance your career, to prepare for entering or re-entering the work force, or to learn something new. There are online and hybrid programs that allow students to earn a credential in health fields, such as Medical Coding or Nursing Assistant.
How is a hybrid class different from an online class?
A hybrid class combines classroom learning with online learning. Unlike a fully online class, hybrid classes require regular, weekly class attendance on campus.
In a hybrid course, a significant portion of the class learning activities are online, which reduces the amount of time spent in a traditional, face-to-face classroom. However, for a hybrid class, students are also required to attend weekly class meetings at the days, times, and locations listed in the class schedule.
If I take an online class, will I have to come to campus?
Some online classes require attendance at an on-campus class orientation at the start of the semester. For other online classes, the orientation is done online. To find out whether your class has an on-campus orientation session, see the Orientation page.
Prior to registering, you will likely have to come to campus to meet with an advisor. For details, see the Advising section.
But once your class is underway and the orientation is done, the class will take place online, and can be done from anywhere you have internet access.
Do I have to be online at a certain day or time?
Most online courses do not require you to be online at a specific day or time. However, you are required to "keep up" with the weekly class schedule and to complete assignments before the due dates. For most online classes, you can choose the time of day or night you want to log on to work on an assignment, but you must complete it and "turn it in" by the specified date and time.
