KCTCS CatalogDistance EducationBack to Table of ContentsDistance EducationKentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) and the Kentucky Virtual University (KYVU) partner to deliver quality, online courses and programs "anytime, anywhere." KCTCS also offers courses and programs through broadcast TV in partnership with the Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and Interactive Television (ITV). Online Programs KCTCS colleges offer online programs including the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), and Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees, as well as diplomas and certificates. Students must designate a KCTCS college as their Home College. The KCTCS Home College must have program approval to award the credential. Online classes are delivered by different KCTCS colleges, and the Home College accepts all systemwide online courses delivered by other KCTCS colleges. The student's Home College will provide student services including, but not limited to, admission, advising, library services, billing, and financial aid. Enrolled students will receive an automatic e-mail providing user id and password through the student KCTCS e-mail account. All of the courses required for online programs can be taken fully online; however, some courses may require exams that are proctored and approved by the instructor. Instructors communicate with students through the Blackboard Course Management System (CMS) or through KCTCS e-mail. KCTCS online classes may be requested at www.kyvu.org or students may register directly at any KCTCS college. Requests for classes through KYVU are directed to the student's Home College, and the Home College processes the request once all admission requirements have been met. Additional information about KCTCS online courses and programs, including student orientation and tutorial, may be viewed at www.kctcs.edu/distancelearning. Program guides for KCTCS online programs are available at www.kctcs.edu/distancelearning/programchecklist.htm and in the Academic Curricula section of this catalog. To support student success, your Home College may require an Internet course orientation prior to enrollment in an online class. You are encouraged to visit your Home College Internet homepage prior to requesting enrollment. If you have any questions about the degree or the requirements, please contact your advisor or a counselor at your Home College.
