Parkland College Campus

Courses

CTC courses are offered in an open/entry, open/exit format.

Students who are enrolled in courses for Computer Basics or Microsoft Office applications set their own schedule. Some students finish the course in a few weeks, others take the entire semester. Students may work at home, campus or both. Regardless of how the work is completed, all assignments are due by the end of the semester. Final exams are taken on campus and although multiple chapters may be submitted at one time, only one chapter will be graded per day so it's important students not wait until the last few weeks to submit work.

Students who are enrolled in courses for Internet Basics or Web Design courses have set deadlines given to them by the instructor that are based on their date of enrollment. When enrolled in one of these courses, it is important to contact the instructor by email as soon as you are enrolled to get started on the course projects. You can also find course information by using Angel at: http://angel.parkland.edu. When you login to Angel, the courses you are enrolled in will be listed.
