Online Learning

About Online Learning

Online Learning courses are the same courses and follow the same semester schedule as traditional face-to-face classes.

Courses are fully-accredited and transferable and qualify for financial aid. Your transcript will not differentiate an Online Learning course from a traditional one.

You can access your course from any computer connected to the Internet - 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for intermittent maintenance.

Orientation

Orientation is required for all new to BC3 online students or students who have not completed an orientation with less than two previously completed online classes.

Orientation is highly recommended for traditional students to help navigate Blackboard which is utilized by many traditional course instructors.

There are, however, minimum hardware and software requirements, and certain technical skills requirements.
