Types of Courses
Highline Online
Highline Online courses are offered over the Internet and do not
meet on campus.
- Class is online, so you don't have to be in
class at a certain time. You can fit your coursework into your
schedule.
- Online courses have the same credit, prerequisites, and
course outlines as face-to-face courses.
Because of the online
environment, courses may be harder to do, but scheduling is more
flexible.
- Most courses have multiple deadlines throughout
the quarter and are not self-paced.
- Certain classes may require proctored exams, supplemental
software, or scheduled visits to employers or other locations in
your area.
You will need an email account and web access for these classes.
A Highline Computer Fee will be charged for the class. Contact the
instructor for the course syllabus for details.
Hybrid
Hybrid courses meet online and in class on campus, but
there are fewer face-to-face meetings than regular online classes.
For instance, a class that normally meets five days a week will meet
2 or 3 days per week. The balance of the work is completed online.
- Hybrid courses have the same credit, prerequisites, and
course outlines as face-to-face courses.
- Because of the online
environment, courses may be harder to do, but scheduling is more
flexible.
A Highline Computer Fee will be charged for the class. Contact
the instructor for the course syllabus for details.
WAOL Online
Washington Online is a cooperative effort by the community
college system to provide courses necessary to complete an AA degree
using the Internet.
- Courses are offered over the Internet and do not
meet on campus.
- Since you don't have to be
in class at a certain time, you can fit your coursework into your
schedule.
- However, most courses have multiple deadlines throughout
the quarter and are not self-paced.
WAOL is not a
college and doesn't register students, grant credit or give grades.
Courses show up on your transcript as Highline courses, however your
course may be "hosted" by a different community college in the state
of Washington.
You will need an email account and web access for these classes.
A WAOL technology fee will be charged for this class.
