Online Learning
What is the difference between CCA Online, CCCOnline, and non-credit courses? For the completion of your degree or certificate, CCA Online and CCCOnline are essentially the same. They both count toward your degree or certificate. Tuition costs are equal. They both use the Desire2Learn platform. And they both have the same learning outcomes. Our non-credit courses use a separate online system, are not college-credit bearing courses, and count toward an “award of completion” rather than a formal college degree.

Various Types of Courses We Offer
Full Online Courses
Community College of Aurora offers Colorado online classes that are taken fully online, where all instruction and assignments are completed online using a learning management system. Students complete assignments online from wherever and whenever they wish! Many people who take online courses also have full-time jobs, and find the convenience of online courses the best way to complete their degree.
Hybrid Online Courses
Hybrid online courses are another alternative that combine the flexibility of online courses with the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the instructor and classmates. Some of the work is completed online using a learning management system, and the remainder through scheduled meeting times that are published for each course. Some or all meeting times may be mandatory depending upon the course and instructor.
Self-Paced Courses
Self-paced courses start at the beginning of the semester and must be completed in one semester, allowing students to progress at their own pace during the semester. Self-paced courses may require due dates on certain assignments, depending on the course and instructor. The courses are Internet based; however, instructors are available to meet with individual students at specified times. Still wondering if online learning is right for you?
