Continuing Education (Non-Credit)
The Continuing Education Division of LCC offers courses at its main campus, satellite
facilities, and other locations in its service area. Courses in various disciplines are
offered to upgrade job performance in a variety of occupational areas. Continuing
Education Units (CEU’s) are awarded upon completion of most courses. One CEU
represents ten hours of participation in a noncredit community course, workshop, or
seminar. Non-academic continuing education courses that award CEU’s cost $10.00
per continuing education unit. Required fees are assessed for each continuing education
course. Continuing education courses are also offered to meet the needs of employers
or other special interest groups.
COMMUNITY SERVICES
Community Services allows non-academic use of the College’s facilities for community
functions such as meetings and conferences. Arrangements for the use of facilities
may be made by calling the Office of the President at (505) 454-2501.
DISTANCE EDUCATION
The LCC Distance Learning Network was created to coordinate and support LCC’s
distance learning initiatives. It is the goal of the DLN to provide greater course access
to students in outlying rural areas of the current LCC servicing area, as well as offering
greater flexibility to student course schedules. LCC offers distance education courses
via two mediums, instructional television (ITV) and online. Those interested in taking
courses via distance education are urged to visit the official Luna Community College
web site at www.luna.cc.nm.us or contact any of LCC’s counselors for more information.
DLN course offerings are published in the LCC Schedule of Classes each term and
are also available on the LCC web site.
LCC online courses offered over the World Wide Web provides students the opportunity
to take LCC courses from anywhere the student has access to a computer with an
Internet connection. This medium offers greater scheduling flexibility for the student
since the course can be accessed at any time. Students are responsible for securing
Internet access but LCC campus sites do provide Internet ready labs for student use.
LCC ITV courses are transmitted from the LCC main campus to its satellite sites in
Springer and Santa Rosa. Students taking ITV courses are required to attend the
course at one of the receiving sites, but may actively participate with the live section
of the course through audio and visual components of the medium.
For more information or contact the Distance Learning Office at (505) 454-5364.
