Online Courses

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).

Course Types

  • Online courses are delivered with 1 or less on-campus meetings. Some courses may require exams to be proctored either on-campus or other proctor location. View online course schedule.
  • Hybrid or blended courses are a combination of both on-campus classroom meetings and online coursework. They will have fewer meeting times than a traditional classroom course, but will require students to review course materials, participate in discussion and complete assignments via the Internet. View blended/hybrid course schedule.
