Online Learning

Moraine Valley offers a number of certificates and degree programs that can be obtained with a majority, if not all, of coursework completed online. 前往校园参加班级相关活动由教师自行决定.

Transfer Degrees: Online Options

The Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.) and General Studies (A.G.S) degrees can be completed online. 请注意，某些地区的选择可能有限. Visit the online and hybrid course information page 有关课程期望和所需的校园旅行的具体细节.

Fully Online Program Options

Online Programs (with Trips to Campus}

课程可能以多种形式提供. 其他课程和证书可以完全在线完成. 一些先决条件可能无法以在线格式提供.

*Please refer to the Program Licensure Disclosure statement located in the Instructional Programs section of the catalog. Students should check the specific state professional licensing agency to determine licensing requirements.

Online Courses

These courses have section numbers 300-339. 在线课程通过互联网使用学习管理系统来提供内容, facilitate communication (e.g. faculty-student and student-student), collect student work, and assess student performance. 在线课程可能需要前往校园或考点.

Hybrid Courses

These courses have section numbers 350-399. In a hybrid course, face-to-face class sessions are reduced by providing a significant portion of the instruction in a learning management system via the Internet. Hybrid courses have learning activities that must be completed via the Internet as well as class sessions that require on-campus attendance.

Online courses are not for everyone as people learn at different paces and in a variety of ways. 在线课程和混合课程通常比在校课程需要更多的时间, 所以你必须下定决心，明白成功需要什么.

Students are encouraged to complete a Study Skills self-assessment. Your honest responses to this assessment will help you understand the realities and expectations of taking an online course.

在参加在线课程时，冰碛谷提供了几种支持选项. For example, we have technical support available Monday through Saturday via email and by phone. Our library also provides a live chat and text message support in addition to email and phone support.

Moraine Valley Community College, and the State of Illinois, 参加国家授权互惠协议(SARA). The agreement allows member states, territories, and institutions 为居住在其他参与州的学生提供在线课程. The agreement also allows any distance education student a method to resolve a concern against the college if they are from a member state.

Any Moraine Valley student who desires to resolve a concern is first encouraged to follow the college’s own complaint and reporting process, viewable on MVConnect. Concerns that cannot be resolved through the college’s own process may be pursued with the Illinois Community College Board, as applicable under SARA.

Students who are unable to resolve their concern internally with the college and do not reside in a SARA member state must pursue their concern within their state or territory of residency. At present California is not a member of SARA.
