The Need for Online Classes

At Rockingham Community College, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to further their education. We understand that many people have time constraints or difficulties getting to our campus. RCC offers online courses that allow you to take classes on your schedule, from home. Best of all, there are no additional fees to take online courses. Students enrolling in online courses should be skilled in using a computer and meet the minimum computer system and browser requirements.

RCC is authorized to serve students in most states, in compliance with the U.S. Department of Education State Authorization Requirements as established in HEOA 600.9(c). For more information about state authorization, visit the  Rockingham Community College State Authorization page.

How Online Classes Work

Online students “attend” class by accessing the class and completing assignments according to the class schedule. Students are required to complete assignments according to the class schedule, maintain regular contact with the instructor, and participate in online class discussions. Online courses run on the same semester schedule as traditional classes.
