Online Courses are delivered entirely over the Internet and are the educational equivalent of traditionally delivered courses. The enticement of an online course is that your attendance on campus is not required. This allows you the flexibility to fit a college course into your busy schedule, saving time and travel expenses. Class is held when you have time whether early in the morning before work, after dinner, or after the late news.
Please note: some courses may have specific requirements such as proctored exams or require specific software packages. For more information on a specific course, please select the appropriate semester from the list below and then the specific course number.

ANGEL Training Videos – Highly recommended training videos for students who have never taken an online course. These videos would be for students who are unable to attend our ALC ANGEL training sessions and can also be used as reference tools for any student who needs a refresher.
