Helpful information for taking a distance learning course

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 for Distance Learning Courses

Students enrolled in NT, TV, HY, or NCIH courses must complete a mandatory enrollment/orientation assignment/requirement by the census (10%) date to prevent being dropped as a Never Attended (NA) student. These requirements are posted within your course and/or syllabus packet.

Online (NT) courses – Enrollment/Orientation is online.

Television (TV) courses – Enrollment/Orientation is completed when the student submits the syllabus quiz, which is included in the required course packet purchased from the College Bookstore.

Hybrid (HY) courses – Enrollment/Orientation is online. However, you must attend class by the census date (10%). All your meeting dates will be indicated on your syllabus.

North Carolina Information Highway (NCIH) courses - Orientation is completed during the first scheduled class meeting.

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  Students may receive a 100% refund, if requested, for classes officially withdrawn from before the first day of classes, or if the class is canceled.  Students may officially withdraw from a class or classes through the census date, and receive a 75% refund, if requested. Please refer to the Official Withdrawal Policy in the Wilson Community College Catalog for detailed guidelines.

Children Not Allowed on Campus

State policy prohibits attendance in any class, laboratory, or class activity by anyone not enrolled in that course. Children are not allowed to accompany a parent or other student to any on-campus academic activity and may not be left unattended and/or unsupervised at any time. If you are faced with a decision of stay at home or bring a child with you to class, that’s an easy call...stay home.
