Summer 2011 Online Course Schedule

In order to see the most current course information students need to hit reload or refresh on their computers when first accessing a course page.  Failure to do this will result in students seeing a page with inaccurate dates.  If you do not know how to do this, please follow this link.

Please be aware that filling out the syllabus does not mean you are enrolled in the course. You must complete all the registration steps in order to be enrolled in a course.  The first step to completing enrollment is filling out the admissions application.  You must then go into the registration area and add the course you wish to be enrolled in. AGAIN, Filling out the syllabus will not enroll you in the course.

The weekend before the class is scheduled to begin, Barstow College allows students to preview the first lesson, the syllabus and the about the instructor page, so the students can make an informed decision before staying enrolled in a course.  All students must complete ALL registration steps before they are enrolled in a course.  Filling out the syllabus does not enroll a student in an online course.

Please be aware that courses are posted the day before they are to begin.  Although links are not active until the day before the course is scheduled to begin, this does not mean the course is cancelled. If the course is cancelled and your contact information with the college is current, you will be notified of the course cancellation by the Barstow College Instruction Department.

The courses listed below represent all online courses offered by Barstow Community College for the Summer 2010 term. You will find the individual CRN for each class, the instructor, and the course. For more detailed information pertaining to each section, please refer to the class schedule section of the schedule on pages 23-37.

Online courses are presented over the Internet through our online instruction website at http://www.bcconline.com.  These courses allow students to do their work from home on computers through the use of a modem and commercial Internet provider. Students who do not have these facilities will be able to make use of the college labs (Barstow Campus and Ft Irwin) to connect to the courses.

Online courses require a computer or access to a computer. Students should be aware that any form of non-traditional study requires a great deal of self-discipline and personal motivation. Online courses are generally more demanding than the traditional classroom form of instruction. The courses require that students integrate learning from textbooks with discussion group participation and frequent interaction with the instructor through email and/or telephone. Non-traditional education provides access to those prospective students who may not normally be able to attend on-campus classes. Withdrawal rates are high due to unrealistic expectations of students.
