Flexible Learning
Classroom Instruction (Traditional) includes a minimum of 15 hours of personal contact per credit hour. Instruction may include lectures, small group discussion, labs, fieldtrips, or other in-person delivery methods. Some content may be delivered online.
Hybrid Courses are courses that combine online and on-campus instruction. Online instructional activities are substituted for a portion of the required scheduled course time. Internet access and computer literacy are required.
Online Learning Courses cover the same material as regular classroom courses. Specially prepared instructors use online course sites to build an online community of learners. Internet access and computer literacy are required. For more information about FRCC Online courses, including how to set up your computer for online courses, go to www.frontrange.edu/online.
FRCC students may also enroll in online courses offered by the Colorado Community College System. CCCOnline courses are taught by instructors across the Colorado Community College System and appear as FRCC credit on your transcript. Internet access and computer literacy are required. For more information about CCCOnline courses, go to www.ccconline.org.
Start 2 and Start 3 Courses offer fast-paced, intensive learning options for motivated students. These courses have a start date later in the semester than traditional courses. For both, the same amount of content is covered over a shorter period of time.
Evening and Weekend Courses, like traditional classroom instruction, include lecture, small group discussion, labs, field trips, and other in-person and online delivery methods.
Learning Communities are designed to enhance student learning by pairing two courses. Two professors guide the learning by integrating assignments. Both classes are enrolled with the same small group of students and are scheduled back-to-back.
