Flex Courses are online courses with flexible assignment submission, allowing students to manage their completion pace during the semester. Flex courses remain open for enrollment throughout the first half of the semester.

Hybrid Courses combine online instruction with limited in-person meetings throughout the semester. Hybrid courses can take place in standard or accelerated formats.

Online Courses take place 100% online via Canvas, without required in-person or Zoom meetings.

Standard Courses meet in person at CCV centers, typically once each week for the duration of the semester.

Synchronous Courses are delivered through a combination of online and regularly-scheduled Zoom sessions. In synchronous classes, students must attend Zoom sessions and actively engage with each other and faculty in course activities and discussions.

are available at multiple CCV centers through the use of videoconference technology. For example, a telepresence course that takes place in-person at CCV-Rutland can be beamed to classrooms in St. Johnsbury and Newport. Telepresence courses typically follow the standard weekly class meeting schedule for the duration of the semester.

Course descriptions are available in the CCV Catalog (catalog.ccv.edu). Though all listed courses are approved, some of these courses may not be offered during the current academic year. Several months before the start of each semester, CCV publishes a Course Schedule that indicates what courses are available in particular locations and the exact times and dates for that semester. In the Course Schedule, specific course descriptions that include a weekly syllabus and other information about a particular section of a course can also be found.
