Student Resources

Online education provides many benefits such as anytime-anywhere education, learning on your schedule, flexibility to accommodate your personal and professional schedules, etc. However, due to its flexibility, online education also requires a set of skills, knowledge, and discipline that overlap but also differ from those required of in-person learning.

This page provides links to websites and videos that online students may find helpful to them. In addition, every Virginia community college has information and resources on their websites for online students. We encourage students to review this information on the college website where they are or intend to enroll.
