Modes of Instruction
In-Person Courses
Students experience the full campus environment with in-person courses, whether at the main campus, Effingham Technology Center, or another off campus location. All classes are conducted at the scheduled days and times, fostering direct interaction with instructors and classmates. While online tools and resources might be offered, the focus is on the in-person learning
experience.

Online Courses
Students experience the convenience of a completely online learning environment. While deadlines ensure progress, students determine their own daily study schedule. Instructors maintain a strong online presence through chat sessions and active participation in discussion boards and email correspondence. Some online sections may require proctored tests or exams either on campus or at an instructor-approved location.
