Course Types

Online Courses:

Dominican University of California offers online courses for regular academic credit. Students register for online courses in the same way that they register for other courses. To participate in online courses, students must have regular access to a computer with internet service. The Campus Computer Lab cannot be used to take online courses. In order to participate in class, students are required to participate online several times a week. Most online courses also have a face-to-face component.

Special codes attached to certain course titles indicate the course type. Course type codes may be used in the following situations:

• Courses only open to students in certain programs (e.g., the Honors Program or the Adult Degree Completion program)
• To indicate the campus or the delivery method of the course (e.g., courses taken abroad and those offered in a fully online or a hybrid format)
• When a course section is being offered as a Service Learning course in a given semester
• When a course section is being offered as an Independent Study course in a given semester
