Online and Hybrid Courses
ONLINE Courses
Online courses are delivered over the Internet, either entirely online or with proctored testing and other requirements identified in the course schedule. Course due dates, deadlines, and schedules are determined by each instructor. Residents of California are not eligible to enroll in online courses offered by NMC.
Whether you are taking online courses for the flexibility, fit for your schedule, or your location, to succeed in your online courses you will need:
- Effective time management
- Access to a computer with a reliable Internet connection several times during the week
- The ability to work with a variety of computer applications
- The ability to effectively communicate online using e-mail and various electronic file formats
Hybrid Courses
Hybrid courses combine online, livestream, and/or lecture delivery methods and reduce the number of required course meetings by moving some course activities to Canvas. Scheduled course meetings are face-to-face or through Zoom. Please refer to the special instructions on the schedule for the course for more information.
Hybrid Learning offers the best of both online and face-to-face learning:
- In-person or Zoom interaction with the instructor and classmates
- Flexibility and convenience in scheduling your time for online classwork
- Less travel time and related costs
