What is an Online Course?

An online course does not have scheduled on campus class meetings. It is an integrated learning program entirely accessed via a computer with an internet connection, except for proctored exams if required. We recommend that you plan to do the majority of your online coursework from home. The course is designed to be used as the principal components of a credited college course and may include:

Syllabus
Announcements
Resources and Web-links
Lecture Notes & Handouts
Course calendar
Course e-mail
Discussion forums
Assessments
Virtual Office Hours
Various Multimedia Materials

Online courses are identified in course listings by a section number similar to "N#" or "#N". (i.e. BIO-124-N1, or ART-101-2N, or PHI-201-5N).

Courses with section number N1 or N2 are full semester courses.
Courses with section number 2N are 6-weeks long, beginning at the start of the semester.
Courses with section number 4N are 6-weeks long, beginning at mid-semester.
Courses with section number 5N are 10-weeks long, beginning at mid-semester.

Admission and Registration

Admissions, registration procedures and course or program prerequisites for online courses are the same as for on-campus courses. Applicants submit an application for admission to the Admission's Office, meet the standard entrance requirements of the college, and must be formally admitted to the college to register for any credit courses. The courses will appear on student transcripts as sections of regular LCCC courses.
