NWACC Distance Learning Classes

Click here for a list of Online Classes

NWACC offers a varielty of Distance Learning classes each semester, including courses that cover the core requirements for the AA and other degree plans.

Go to How to Apply for Admission and Register to find out how to register for these classes.

Please note that this list is not always up-to-date, so it is best to search the offical course schedule to find classes [see link below], and contact the instructor with any specific questions before enrolling.

How to Find Distance Learning Classes

Distance learning classes are listed in the regular course schedule, right along with all other credit courses. To find out which courses are being offered for a particular semester, go to the official course schedule at https://www2.nwacc.edu/pls/nprod/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched and use the class type codes shown below to identify distance learning sections.

Class information is also listed below for specific instructors. If the college's main course schedule shows the instructor as being "Staff" or "TBA", a specific instructor has not yet been assigned.

Interactive Video Classes

Distance Learning Class Types:

In the main course schedule, to identify whether a section is a Distance Learning section or not, check the Section number. If one of the following codes appears by the Section number, that section is delivered via Distance Learning [for example, for Principles of Accounting I - 11531 - ACCT 2013 - 01, the "01" is the section number]. So "01W" would be an online section; "01Y" would be a hybrid class; and "01V" would be offered via interactive video.

W - Online - These courses are conducted over the Internet. Students MUST have regular access to the Internet as well as compatible web browser software (see computer requirements at http://www.nwacc.edu/disted/tutorial/wcttut2.php) and should be familiar with downloading, uploading and viewing files on the internet. Some online sections may have an orientation on campus, proctored testing, or other site-specific requirements. $30 Distance Learning Fee per course. Please note: Online courses at NWACC are not self-paced, but require students to follow a specific plan of work, including due dates like a traditional face-to-face course.

Y - Hybrid - These courses have reduced meeting times in the classroom and conduct the remainder of the class online. Internet access is necessary (see computer requirements at http://www.nwacc.edu/disted/tutorial/wcttut2.php). $15 Distance Learning Fee per course.

V - Compressed Interactive Video - This class will be conducted by interactive video with one or more classrooms participating simultaneously. CIV courses originate from BH (Burns Hall) 2414 at the Bentonville campus unless otherwise indicated.

Important Message!
New students who wish to register for NWACC classes must obtain advising before enrolling in classes, either from the NWACC Advising Office or the institution they regularly attend.


Online Classes

Online classes are conducted over the internet, so the student MUST have access to a computer that meets minimum requirements [see http://www.nwacc.edu/disted/tutorial/wcttut2.php] and have consistent reliable internet service. High speed internet is not required but recommended. Students must also be familiar with downloading, uploading and viewing files on the internet.

Please note that this list is not always up-to-date, so it is best to search the offical course schedule to find classes and contact the instructor with any specific questions before enrolling.
