Otero Junior College’s Online Study format allows students to access a class and its content via the internet.
OJC uses a web delivery platform called WebCT. The web-based platform allows students to access assignments, read and write assignments, take exams, and communicate with the instructor and other students. OJC Online study courses are not independent study or self-paced, they are instructor-paced. This hybrid design combines inclass, face-to-face instruction with robust online content and activities. Students may also have contact with their instructor via phone, email, or personal visits. Each course is a normal one semester OJC course. Courses offered online may vary each semester. Tuition for OJC Online Study courses during the 2008-09 academic year is $113.20 per semester hour for residents and $235.20 per semester hour for non-residents.

Technical requirements may change based on program upgrades. It is the responsibility of the students to keep their software updated with the latest upgrades.
Students will need to be somewhat proficient with computers to access the Internet, reply to emails, and send attachments. Students also need to assume responsibility as a full partner in their OJC Online Study learning process.
- Attend the on-campus orientation/tutorial session offered each semester.
- Take advantage of the Web CT "How do I" folder.
- Communicate with your instructors often; they are your contact for the course.
- Read your course syllabus carefully. This has all the information regarding your responsibilities as well as add/drop and withdrawl dates.
- Log into your class right away and often to view new postings, assignments and tests.
- Expect to commit as much time to an Online Study class as would be required for a traditional class.
Students who do not have access to a computer may find computers available in the Educational Assistance Center, in McBride Hall, in the Wheeler Library, or during open computer labs on campus.
The philosophy of Continuing Education recognizes that learning continues throughout life. Opportunities are provided for the adult to pursue or resume intellectual interests, to increase vocational competence, to develop worthwhile recreational activities, and to improve quality of life. Blended with traditional programming, Continuing Education opportunities are responsive to current needs.
