The College offers students several alternative presentation modes for courses and programs. Distance learning at BCC is an instructional method in which the majority of instruction occurs when the student and the instructor are not in the same place.

Distance learning presentation modes include:

• Blended: College courses in which less than or equal to 50% of the instruction is delivered online
• Hybrid: College courses in which greater than 50%, but less than 100% of the instruction is delivered online
• Hyflex: College courses in which 100% of instruction is delivered face-to-face and 100% of the instruction is delivered online. Students may choose a delivery method and may switch back and forth throughout the duration of the course.
• Online: Internet-based instruction
• Courses offered via distance learning modes are of the same academic rigor as traditional, seated courses and carry the same academic credit as seated courses.

Distance education courses appear on the regular curriculum fall spring, and summer schedules and are designated by special section number designations:

• B: sections indicate blended courses
• OL: sections designate on-line courses
• H: sections designate hybrid courses
• HF: sections designate hyflex courses

Distance education courses do not have additional fees associated with delivery format. Distance orientation is offered at the distance education link on the BCC website.
