The courses listed below represent all online courses offered by Barstow College for the Summer 2004 term. You will find the individual CRN for each class, the instructor and the course.

Online courses are presented over the Internet through our Online Instruction website at http://www.bcconline.com. These courses allow students to do their work from home on computers through the use of a modem and commercial Internet provider. Students who do not have these facilities will be able to make use of the college labs (B3, B4, B6, and Ft. Irwin) to connect to the courses.

Online courses require a computer or access to a computer. Students should be aware that any form of non-traditional study requires a great deal of self-discipline and personal motivation. Online and ITV courses are generally more demanding than the traditional classroom form of instruction. The courses require that students integrate learning from textbooks with discussion room participation and frequent interaction with the instructor through email and/or telephone. Non-traditional education provides access to those prospective students who may not normally be able to attend on-Instructor classes. Withdrawal rates are high due to unrealistic expectations of students.

ALL STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE THE ONLINE ORIENTATION FOUND AT: <http://www.bcconline.com/orient/index.htm>

This orientation will determine whether first time online students need to take COMP 84-Introduction to Online Courses, and will serve as the first contact between the student and the instructor. Students with limited computer and/or online course experience should enroll in COMP 84.

After registration all students must complete their Class Syllabus within the first week of class in order to be considered active. Visit the website at http://www.bcconline.com for access to the form and other program information. You can also call Barstow College at 760-252-2411, ext. 7319.

NOTE: All off Instructor military students enrolling in Online classes must submit applications, enrollment forms, and tuition assistance (TA) forms during the enrollment period. If you do not meet the deadlines, you will not be registered in time to complete classes.

Students may order their textbooks directly from the Barstow Instructor bookstore. Call 760-252-2411, ext. 7262 to order.

HOW TO CONTACT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Each online instructor has an email address that will consist of their first initial and last name followed by @bcconline.com. For example John Smith would have an email address of jsmith@bcconline.com.
