Online Learning at MHCC offers flexible, accessible course options designed to fit your schedule while keeping you connected and supported. Whether you are balancing work, family, or other commitments, online learning allows you to complete coursework when and where it works best for you, while still meeting regular deadlines and staying engaged with your instructors and classmates. 

Course Formats

MHCC offers several types of online and flexible course options:

• Fully Online - All coursework is completed online
• Hybrid - A combination of online and in-person instruction
• Dual-Delivery - Courses that allow you to choose how you attend (in-person or online)

Many courses across a variety of subject areas are available in online formats and can be combined with in-person classes to fit your needs. To see which courses are offered online each term, take a look at the class schedule during the registration period before each term. 

All online courses maintain the same learning outcomes, academic rigor, and transferability as in-person courses. Prerequisites, co-requisites, and testing requirements are consistent across all formats. 

What to Expect in an Online Course

Online classes are flexible, but they are not typically self-paced. Students should expect:

• Weekly deadlines and structured coursework
• Regular participation in discussions, assignments, or activities
• Ongoing communication with instructors and classmates
• Use of web-based tools for submitting work and engaging in class

Is Online Learning Right for You?

You may be a good fit for online learning if you:

• Are comfortable managing your time and staying organized
• Check your email and course messages regularly
• Can stay motivated and complete work independently

If you prefer more in-person support or structure, hybrid or face-to-face courses by be a better fit, especially if you are new to college.
