Welcome and Start Here What do the terms in the course schedule mean?

Shasta College courses are available in various formats, ranging from traditional classroom settings to Internet-based varieties. Internet courses typically offer greater flexibility for students’ schedules. Contrary to some beliefs, however, Internet-based courses are just as rigorous as their traditional classroom counterparts. These courses require a well-disciplined, motivated student with computer skills; familiarization with the Internet; a reliable computer; and a high-speed Internet connection.
