Getting Started

Online Learning Courses

LTCC's Online Learning classes come in two forms:

Online courses are offered entirely online with no required class meetings on campus. Online courses are referred to as ONLINE classes in the schedule which means the class is 100% online - no face-to-face meetings required.

Hybrid courses combine some percentage of class time on campus and online. The requirement varies from class to class - you may be asked to come to campus weekly, once for an orientation, or to take exams. Hybrid courses provide class meeting information for both on-campus day(s)/time/location and Days TBA, Times TBA, Online-LTCC, Room CANVAS.

Purchase Textbooks

Look for textbook information on the class Canvas site. Instructors will include this information in the syllabus, but they may also have it posted elsewhere in Canvas. You can also search the LTCC Online Bookstore for the class textbook and order online.

Most instructors expect you to have your textbooks ready for the first day of class!
All students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to be sure you are taking the right classes to reach your academic and career goals.
