Resources and information for students during the COVID-19 pandemic

There are three different ways of doing online classes so here’s a little bit of help when you are reading your schedule:

Online (ONL)

Online classes do not have specific days or times for participation but some instructors may schedule optional virtual meetings and office hours. These classes have been intentionally developed to meet online course design standards.

Remote (REM)

Remote classes are held online at specific days and times and require students to use online tools (Zoom for example) in order to participate. Check the class schedule for the specific meeting days and times. Remote classes were intended to meet in-person, but have been moved to an internet delivery mode due to campus closures related to inclement weather or a local/global health emergency. 

Hybrid (HYB)

Hybrid classes are completed both in-person and online. For example, students might attend a weekly lecture on-campus, and then take part in a class discussion online. The amount of time spent on-campus varies between courses. Check the class schedule for specific meeting days and times, as well as campus location information.

In-person

In-person classes take place at specific meeting days, times and locations.  Class materials might be delivered online, but all instruction takes place in-person. Check the class schedule for specific meeting days and times, as well as campus location information.

Chromebook checkout

Associated Student Government (ASG) has a limited number of Chromebooks for students to check out at no cost for currently registered students. If you are interested in checking out a Chromebook, please complete this form.

Students who already have a Chromebook must also complete the application and be registered for courses each term.

New to online learning?

In many ways, learning online is similar to learning in a classroom. Your instructor will provide quality readings, exercises, assignments and quizzes. Clackamas Community College uses Moodle for its online course delivery. When you sign up for a class, you will get a self-guided Moodle 101 orientation course to prepare you for online learning and make sure you have the skills you need to succeed.

Here are some resources to help you:
