Enjoy your Online Course!
Online courses are a great alternative for many
traditional and non-traditional students. Whether you’re
a working adult trying to juggle many life demands or a
traditional student trying to lighten part of a term to
accommodate extra-curricular activities, online courses
can provide the same quality educational experience in
an accelerated and proven format. A great deal of
technical and advising support is available to students
taking online courses. Within each course is a link to a
help center that provides immediate 24/7/365 access to
assistance via phone, live chat or email. Online
instructors are also experienced with most aspects of
the course and can help students with many basic
questions. The Distance Learning Office is also available
to assist students with any questions or concerns
regarding online education at NDC.
