How Online Classes Work

Online learning works with your life. Focus on classes when it's convenient for you, leaving time for your work and family commitments. And if you don't live near a campus? You'll eliminate the commute by taking classes online.

To help you navigate the online learning experience, we've included the information below. We encourage all students to reference the Introduction to Online Learning and participate in the Online Student Union; both are located in MyCourses.

  • The Introduction to Online Learning tutorial will show you how to navigate the MyCourses platform and be successful with online learning
  • The Online Student Union is a place for all FRCC students to connect with one another.
