Non-Traditional Course Formats

Dallas College offers several flexible course formats to meet the diverse needs of students. These non-traditional formats provide students with the opportunity to learn on their own time and schedule, without the constraints of traditional classroom settings.

Online Courses

Online courses are delivered entirely online, allowing students to complete coursework at their own pace and from any location with internet access. These courses utilize learning management systems such as Blackboard or Canvas, providing students with access to virtual lectures, readings, assignments, and discussion forums.

Hybrid Courses

Hybrid courses combine online and in-person components. Students typically attend class in person for a reduced number of hours each week, while completing the majority of their work online. This format offers flexibility while still providing students with face-to-face interactions with their instructor and classmates.

Accelerated Courses

Accelerated courses cover the same material as traditional courses but over a shorter period of time. These courses typically meet more frequently and require students to dedicate more time to study and assignments. Accelerated courses are ideal for students who need to complete coursework quickly or who have a busy schedule.

Evening and Weekend Courses

Evening and weekend courses are offered for students who cannot attend classes during traditional business hours. These courses meet in the evenings or on weekends, providing flexibility for students who work full-time or have other obligations.

Independent Study Courses

Independent study courses allow students to work one-on-one with an instructor to complete a specific project or study topic. These courses are ideal for students who need to pursue an area of interest or who have a non-traditional schedule.

Distance Learning Courses

Distance learning courses are delivered entirely online and are designed for students who live outside of the Dallas College service area. These courses utilize a variety of technologies to provide students with access to course materials, assignments, and virtual office hours with their instructor.

Remote Proctored Courses

Remote proctored courses are online courses that use online proctoring software to monitor students during exams. This technology allows students to take exams from any location with a computer and an internet connection, providing flexibility and convenience.

Blended Learning Courses

Blended learning courses combine online and in-person components but do not have a set schedule for each. Students have the flexibility to complete online modules and assignments at their own pace, while also attending in-person class meetings for group projects, discussions, and hands-on activities.

Online Degree Programs
