Can I work at my own pace?

Online courses have a “Syllabus” prepared by the course instructor, to be followed for reading, assignments, and testing. If you get behind, it can be very hard to catch up. It is suggested that you follow the times and dates posted on the course “Syllabus”.

Back     

Are online courses easier than on-campus courses?

No. Do not confuse the idea of flexibility with ease. Online courses have the same course objectives and course material as on-campus courses. You must exercise self-discipline.

Back     

If I take an online course, will I ever have to come to campus?

Some online courses may offer and, in some instances, require you to attend an on-campus Orientation meeting. Some online courses require on-campus proctored testing. However, proctored testing may be conducted at approved locations other than the CVCC campus. You will be given this information in the beginning of the semester to allow you adequate time to prepare.
