Online Course Requirements for Curriculum Classes

• Have a working knowledge of the Internet, e-mail, and basic word processing skills.
• Have continuous access to a computer with a reliable connection to the Internet.

Computers are available on campus:
Ragsdale Computer Lab, Room 105
Monday through Thursday 7:00AM-9:50PM
Friday  8:00AM-4:50PM
Saturday  8:00AM-4:50PM

There are various other computer labs available to students across campus.  Contact the HelpDesk at 938.6123 for more information.

• Be highly self-motivated and self-directed.  Coastal’s online courses are equivalent to traditional courses in academic rigor and student requirements.  Students should not view an online course as “easier” than traditional courses. In fact, successful students often find online classes to be more challenging than traditional classes, due to the additional reading and personal discipline that is required.

After enrolling in an online curriculum course, students must…

• Purchase all the required course materials, including the textbook(s), access codes, etc.
• Log into the class on the first day of the semester (courses are available at noon).  Continual participation within the course is essential, with most courses requiring weekly interaction.  The attendance policy found in the college catalog applies to online courses as well; how it will be measured can be found in each course’s syllabus.  Many documents will be posted for a limited time and it is the student’s responsibility to keep up with the course calendar and specific due dates.
• During the semester, communicate with the instructor, and other students in the course, utilizing the College’s e-mail system (Campus Cruiser), in which you will be assigned a student address.  (See “What I Need to Know to be an Online Learner”)

*Note: Curriculum online courses are identified in the OnCourse Schedule with a section number of “100” or higher and "O/L" in parenthesis following the course title. For example:

North Carolina Virtual Learning Community (VLC)

The North Carolina Community College System Virtual Learning Community is committed to providing a quality educational experience to students through distance learning course offerings available at most North Carolina Community Colleges.

One of the major benefits of the Virtual Learning Community is that students can select from distance learning courses offered at Community Colleges across North Carolina. So, if you're looking for a course in say, History, and it's not being offered at your local college, you can find another institution that is offering the course and make arrangements to enroll and then transfer the credit hours.
