Students are required to attend class sessions and complete the course according to the dates listed in the schedule.

Guided Independent Learning is instructor guided out-of-classroom learning.
Students must enroll in and start the course by the enrollment deadline (enrollment is limited). Instructor provides print-based and/or computer-based course materials to guide the learning pace (establishes due dates, exam dates, etc.). All course work must be completed by the official end date.

Hybrid blends face-to-face (in person) instruction in a classroom with online learning.
It is convenient for you and your schedule because you spend approximately half the time in a regularly scheduled class with your instructor and the rest of the time online. It is designed for highly motivated, self-disciplined, technology-literate students. It requires reliable web and e-mail access for communication and assignments outside of the classroom.

Online Courses are taken remotely: at home, in the PVCC computer commons, or anywhere you have access to the internet.
Students must enroll in and start a course by the enrollment deadline (enrollment is limited). Students must have access to a computer with an Internet connection, or register to use the PVCC computer lab. All course work must be completed by the official end date. Some online courses at PVCC can be self-paced or staggered start, while others can be structured 16 week format. Please check the online web page to access information for each course.

Open Entry Online are classes taken remotely and self-paced.
OE Online offers an extended enrollment period. Students may begin a course at any time before the enrollment deadline. Students can complete the course entirely off campus, in the PVCC Computer Commons computer lab, or a combination of both. Students work through the course at their own pace, and exit during the semester when course requirements have been met. All coursework must be completed by the official end date.
