Types of Classes

Convenient class times, locations and formats to meet your needs and schedule. No matter which type of class fits your needs best, we're here to help you succeed with student support services and resources offered through the Learning Commons.

Class Formats

Combine the convenience of online classes with real-life classroom interaction. With blended classes, part of your coursework will take place on campus while the rest can be done online.

For example, if you register for a blended anatomy or automotive class, you'll need to come to campus for hands-on instruction in the lab or auto shop. Then, you'll complete the rest of your coursework online — wherever and whenever it works for you.

There are no set meeting times or locations. It's all online so you can learn where you want, when you want.

Online classes have no set meeting times but students are required to take midterm and final exams in person.

There is no cost associated with testing on the WCC campus.  If you're unable to test on WCC's campus, please contact the instructor to set up an alternate arrangement.  There may be a fee associated with testing off-campus.  Dates of in-person exams will be given on the first day of class.

Students and teachers meet on campus, in-person at set meeting times and locations.

Virtual courses have a set day and time to meet with your class. 

Courses may be held on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or another designated platform. Look for communication from your instructor about the specific technology that will be used in your course.

Our courses are taught in Blackboard. A few days before classes begin, please log in to Blackboard and locate your course. Learn more about requirements, resources and tips for taking virtual classes.
