Alternative Delivery
Taking an alternative delivery class saves students time spent in a classroom setting or reduces drive time by selecting a class location closer to their home. This flexibility helps busy people balance work, family and school and still reach their career and academic goals.
Try one or all of the alternative delivery options listed below to find out what works best for your type of lifestyle.
Online (100%)
Electronically-supported Education Options
Electronically-supported education (distance learning) offers you opportunities to learn through electronic delivery.
-
Online (100%)* - If you are self-motivated, an independent learner and have the ability to work without face-to-face contact with an instructor or classmates, taking a course over the Internet will most likely work for you. Students enrolling in a 100% online course should have existing computer skills or the ability to acquire such skills. Online instructors will follow a syllabus and set deadlines. It's up to the student to meet course requirements.
-
Lecture/Internet* - A Lecture/Internet or Hybrid course is one in which regularly scheduled classroom time is replaced a portion of the time with online course work and activities. This is a good option for students new to online learning or students who prefer a more structured learning environment but enjoy the flexibility that an online course provides as this type of course limits the number of times a student needs to be on-campus for class. Students spend part of their time face-to-face in the traditional classroom, lab, or worksite with an instructor and the other part participating on the Internet using LCC's ANGEL course management system.

Other Alternatives
Variable date courses enable a student to finish a course in less time than the normal 16-week semester. Courses can take 1-3 days to complete or extend to 2-15 weeks. This allows students to minimize their class time and maximize their efforts. Students can register for variable date courses throughout the semester up to the date the class begins.

Open entry means a student can register and begin a selected course or module most any time during the semester. These sections are available in several formats including self-directed, online, lecture, lab, or a combination thereof. Self-motivation and discipline are advantageous to achieving your course credit and goals with open-entry instruction.
