¹ Virtual College courses meet entirely online in the college's learning management system. Students must have reliable access to the Internet and a back-up plan in case their usual Internet access does not work. In addition, they must work according to the schedule set by their professors. Attendance is based on work being submitted regularly, according to that schedule, and students are withdrawn if they miss 2 assignments in a row.

² Blended courses meet once per week in a classroom. For example, a course marked as W-blended in the above list meets on Kendall Campus on Wednesdays. However, a blended course also meets online at the student's own time and pace, but within the deadline guidelines set by the professor for each assignment. When online work is not completed, an absence is recorded in that student's record. Students who miss submitting two assignments in a row are subject to being withdrawn from the course.

³ Web-enhanced courses make use of online materials on this website and/or online materials or quiz assignments in Angel, the college's learning management system.

*Gordon Rule courses require writing assignments that must be passed with at least a C in order for the student to earn a passing grade in the course.
