Should You Take an Online
Class?
|
| |
| Will
I be given an e-mail account?
|
Yes. TCC will provide all registered students
a VCCS
web email account. All TCC students are required to use
their college provided email address as their official email
address when corresponding via Email with TCC Faculty & Staff. Students may elect to forward mail (at their own risk)
from their official VCCS e-mail account to another (student-selected)
e-mail system.
|
| Does TCC Offer an
Online Degree?
|
No, TCC does not currently offer
an "Online Degree," but with careful planning a
student can obtain a degree with the courses currently offered
online at TCC.
TCC offers online (Web-based) classes that can be applied
toward the Associate
in Science: Social Sciences and other degrees. Eventually,
students will be able to complete their course requirements
for this degree and others with online classes. Note that
many online classes have some off-line requirements such as
visiting a library, a community agency, a laboratory, a testing
center, or a campus.
|
| Will the
courses I take through OnlineLearning transfer?
|
OnlineLearning courses transfer in
the same manner that other traditional TCC courses would. We
have an articulation agreement with some local Virginia colleges
and universities. For complete transfer information it is best
to consult the guidelines for the institution to which you plan
to transfer.
|
| Will my
personal information be available on the web when I am registered
in an online class? |
Personal information such as your
SS# and home address will not be accessible online by other
students but in some courses the other students and possibly
the general public would have access to your name and email
address.
|
| How do I
get information about an online course if the web or blackboard
site for the course I am interested is not available yet?
|
1. Check the course web or blackboard
site for the previous semester to get an idea of what the next
semester will be like. Note: Some courses have more than one
instructor. You should determine who the instructor of the course
is for your particular course section.
2. Email or call the professor designated for the course you
are interested in. If you are unsure who the course professor
is or need the professor's contact information visit the current
Online
Class Listings page.
