Distance Learning

Chattahoochee Technical College offers a growing number of distance-learning courses. These courses are labeled “online” in the posted schedule of courses. In addition to these, many other courses have a significant online component regardless of the time or duration of their face-to-face meetings. The majority of CTC’s online courses utilize the Blackboard Learn Learning Management System. The following link provides direct access to CTC’s Blackboard Learning portal.   

Taking online classes can be a great learning experience; however, success requires technical and computer skills not required in face-to-face classes. Success also requires students to have access to a computer with reliable Internet service. Using the college’s website and online access to other services, online students have access to the same services provided to on-campus students. Additionally, online students may use any physical resources available to all current students on any CTC campus.

CTC takes steps to guarantee those enrolled in online courses complete their own work and that the students registered are the ones completing this work (see Distance Learning Student Privacy Procedure). All online courses require secure login to gain entry to the courses. Students are encouraged to never share online user IDs or login passwords with anyone. CTC instructors may also use additional technologies to verify the identity and/or work of online students. All online courses at CTC require students to attend at least one proctored event on a physical campus. Proctored sites are often posted with the schedule of classes, and online students are notified of these events the week classes begin. Students who cannot attend scheduled proctored events are responsible for making alternative arrangements, and those must be approved by CTC before the proctored events.
