Online Courses

Dakota County Technical College offers several programs and courses online. Online learning is designed for students who need a convenient schedule and flexibility. Online credit courses follow the traditional semester schedule and offer the same coursework as an on-campus course, but provide flexibility for completing the work via the Internet.

If you are a current student, you can access your online courses at www.onlinedctc.com. This site also provides tutorial information for using the online course management system (D2L Brightspace).
