General Information

Online Courses

Online Courses provide students the opportunity to complete their course work outside of the classroom on their own time. Many of these courses are transferable to a 4 year University. You will want to check the schedule as the online class transferability is the same as classroom courses.

Online Hybrid courses (Classroom and Internet)

Online Hybrid courses reduce classroom/on campus time with Internet based instruction. Hybrid courses have set days and times for meeting on campus, which usually occur weekly.

Course Materials and Textbook

Textbooks can be purchased in the GWC Bookstore on campus or through the Online Bookstore. The textbook should be purchased before the first day of class. If the textbook is to be mailed to you, please allow time for shipping.

Please select a topic from the menu at left to continue.
