We’re going the distance… so you don’t have to.

Students today require learning flexibility and Delta College is committed to providing you with learning options that fit into your busy lifestyle. The Internet,Virtual Classrooms, and other technologies are making college degrees attainable through eLearning.

The advantages of eLearning courses are convenience and flexibility – not simplicity. Students must be highly motivated and disciplined to be successful in an eLearning course. Successful students communicate with their instructors regularly. Students are highly encouraged to access their virtual course sites and contact their instructors on the start date of the semester.

Delta College eLearning Course Options:

• Online with in-person requirement (formerly known as Blended; coded internally as CNET)
  An online course with in-person requirement means there will be both online activities and on-campus meeting times. Therefore, course material, assessments and interactions between instructor and students and between student and students will be delivered through a combination of both online and classroom meeting, with specific times determined by the instructor. Dates for required classroom meetings and any synchronous online meetings will be provided through the course section notes, the syllabus or other communication. The course may require that assessments, whether online or in the classroom, be taken in an approved proctored location or with proctoring or a monitoring software/service.
• Online – no meeting time (formerly known as Online-Asynchronous or Online Independent Course; coded internally as INET)
  An online – no meeting times course delivers 100% of the material and assessments online but may require that assessments be taken using a proctoring or monitoring software/service. This format allows students the flexibility to interact with material and content on their own, individual schedules while still meeting due dates prescribed by the instructor.
• Online – scheduled times (formerly known as Online-Synchronous or Online Scheduled Course; coded internally as SNET)
  An online – scheduled times course delivers 100% of the material and assessments online but may require that assessments be taken using a proctoring or monitoring software/service. This format will require students to meet online on specific days and times. These virtual meeting times will be determined by the instructor. Dates and times for virtual classroom meetings will be provided through the course section notes, the syllabus or other communication.
• MCO – Michigan Colleges Online (MCO) is a collaboration between Michigan community colleges that allow Delta College students to take eLearning courses from other community colleges in Michigan. If a specific course is not available at Delta College, you may find comparable courses through MCO at https://www.micollegesonline.org. Check with your Student Success Advisor to make sure the course credit will transfer back to Delta College.
