eLearning

Taking the equiz or Smart Measure assessment to see if your learning style and availability are compatible with the nature of online courses. Online courses are just as demanding as the face-to-face versions -- they give you flexibility of when you do work, but otherwise deadlines and workload run the same. Online courses are sometimes even more challenging than face-to-face instruction because of the need to be very familiar with the technology and the LMS. If you are comfortable with technology, can self manage time and deadlines well, and have the time available to do the coursework, an online course may be fine.

Typically it takes 24-48 hours between your finalized registration and the course showing up in the LMS with available access. NOTE: courses will not typically show until the instructor activates them on the official course start date.

Currently CGCC is an online course provider, not an online program provider. This typically means that an online student has access to all standard student services on campus, but not necessarily through a website or email. Some services such as ASK A LIBRARIAN and technology support are available for remote users.
