WHAT ARE DELIVERY MODES?
Need help understanding what the course listing means on on Student Planning? Check out this helpful document which shows Student Planning listing examples for each delivery mode.

HOW ARE ONLINE EXAMS PROCTORED?
Many online courses require room scans and webcam monitoring during online exams using a program called RESPONDUS LOCKDOWN BROWSER.  Students with privacy concerns may request to take online exams at the MCC Testing Center or make other arrangements with their instructor at the beginning of the semester.

WHY TAKE ONLINE COURSES?
Online courses offer you the convenience of taking courses from remote areas and the scheduling flexibility to fit your life’s circumstances. Online courses help limit contact and the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

Our affordable tuition rate is just one more reason to take online classes here at MCC. Did you know that online and hybrid courses cost the same as our traditional face-to-face courses?
