How Do I Register for a Distance Learning Course?

Registration for distance learning courses follows the same procedures as traditional classes.  Check the course listings on the following pages for times and dates.  Each distance learning course is equivalent to the on-campus section of the same course in terms of objectives, contact, rigor, and transferability.  Distance learning courses are also approved for tuition assistance.

Orientation

All distance learning students must attend the mandated orientation session(s) required for the course(s) in which students are enrolled.  Please note that for Internet (NET) courses, ORIENTATION only occurs via the Internet.

Never Attended Student (NA) and Attendance

If you are dropped from a course for never attending (NA) or for attendance reasons, you are still responsible for tuition and fees whether or not your tuition and fees were self-paid, paid by PELL, or paid by a third party.  Students may receive a 100% refund, if requested, for classes officially withdrawn from before May 19, 2010, or if the class is canceled.  Students may officially withdraw from a class or classes through May 25, 2009, and receive a 75% refund, if requested. Please refer to the Official Withdrawal Policy in the Wilson Community College Catalog for detailed guidelines.

How Do I Log into Blackboard and Student E-mail?

You can access Blackboard and student e-mail through the WCC website located at http://www.wilsoncc.edu under the Student Information section on the right side of the page.
