If you’re taking classes at Century, chances are there’ll be online components to your learning. Century College offers several course formats using online knowledge. Watch this video to learn about the many course types, at Century, including online!

What is online learning at Century?

Are you ready for online learning?

Century offers three evidence-based tools to provide insight into your readiness for online learning. These tools can also help you manage time and know where to go for online learning support. Please try them out!

Tool 1: Am I Ready for Study?
You may ask yourself if you are ready for online learning. This tool can help you answer this question and provide personal advice based on your responses. There are only five sets of questions, so it doesn’t take long to complete.

Tool 2: Do I Have Enough Time?
Do you have enough time to complete classes online? This tool can help you calculate the time you spend on other activities and provides advice on how much study you could realistically do in your free time. This is only a guide.

Tool 3: Who Can I Ask?
Who can help you as you take online classes? This tool can help you identify people who might support you and give you advice on how to succeed in your online classes.
