Distance Learning Student

Need a flexible schedule? Have a full-time job? In today’s society it is becoming increasingly difficult to attend traditional classes while maintaining a job and fulfilling family obligations. Fortunately, online courses allow students to further their educational goals from practically anywhere. All that is required is willingness and dedication to dive into the world of online learning.

RCC is authorized to serve students in several 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.

 

 

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. Please note that students enrolling into online courses should be skilled in using a computer and meet the minimum computer system and browser requirements.

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.
