Online learning at NWACC is typically delivered through the Canvas learning management system. Some online courses also use MyMathLab, MindTap, or other publisher websites to deliver content. In an online course you will have weekly class discussions using a discussion board, submit papers and assignments, and take quizzes and tests within the online system. While your instructor is there to teach the curriculum and answer any questions you might have, you must be a self-directed and independent learner to do well in online classes.

IMPORTANT: If you decide to enroll in online classes at NWACC, be sure to go through the NWACC Online Student Orientation for more information about what to expect in online classes.
