Virtual Campus
Virtual Campus courses involve either limited or no attendance at the campus, depending on the class. Instead, these courses allow you to use a computer (at a place and time convenient for you) to access course content. In some cases, class meetings are conducted on the web as well. Your instructor may post examinations on the web or ask that you take them on site at the institution.

PCC offers four kinds of alternative course delivery:

Hybrid courses
Interactive Television Courses (ITV)
Two-way Interactive Classrooms to remote locations
Online Courses (web-based)

Hybrid Courses

Hybrid courses are a combination of alternative education and classroom instruction. In a hybrid course, the amount of seat time spent in the classroom is reduced with online participation and media resources.

Interactive Television (ITV) Courses

PCC offers live broadcasts of ITV courses via our education channel: Comcast Cable Channel 18 (Etv18). With ITV, you have the flexibility of watching the lectures at home while the class is in session, and you can call in with questions and receive immediate feedback from the instructor. You can also tape the programs for later review. Students will also participate in the class using the Internet. To take these courses, you must live in Pueblo and have access to Comcast Cable Channel 18.

Two-way Interactive Classrooms

Two-way interactive classes are taught by instructors at any campus location with students participating from other campus locations through video-conferencing. These courses may require you to participate in class using the Internet.

Online Courses

Internet courses are offered in two ways:

PCC Online: PCC Online courses are developed and taught by PCC instructors.
Colorado Community Colleges Online (CCCOnline): CCCOnline is a collaborative effort by all Colorado Community Colleges to provide Internet courses and degree programs. CCCOnline currently offers AA, AS, AAS, and AGS degrees and certificates in various disciplines.

Registering for Virtual Campus Courses

You must have a valid e-mail address to register for Virtual Campus courses. For maximum convenience, you should have a computer with an Internet connection at home. However, all PCC campuses provide access to computers at various times (check your campus site for lab days and times). Please refer to the PCC catalog for information on prerequisites. Contact the course instructor or refer to the course syllabus for required course procedures.
