Why are these classes
offered only online?
Yes. They were developed for two main reasons…
1. To meet the needs of SCTI students who usually work full-time and/or
have a family and will benefit from the flexibility of an online class. Online classes are
available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
2. To help students develop their computer skills since most careers
require the ability to use a computer as a tool.
Are there any required
books?
Yes, courses have required books and may be purchased in the SCTI Bookstore.
HOURS:
Monday - Friday

Do students have to take
the online classes before enrolling as a full-time student?
Anatomy &
Physiology is now a pre-requisite for Practical Nursing and Paramedic
programs. Students need to complete A&P before entering as a fulltime student.
The completion of Core Theory is now required to be
eligible for the EMT program.
For all other
programs, students are encouraged, but not required to complete the Health online
classes before entering a fulltime program.
Students who take the
online classes ahead of time have more time to focus on the fulltime program components.
(The online courses are also completed online if taken after becoming a
fulltime student.)
.
Do
online students need to complete the entrance exam (TABE)?
No, the TABE is not required for enrollment into any online or
any continuing education course.
How
often are the classes offered?
Most of the classes are available 5 times per year.

How
does the student know where to find the course online?
Once the student has registered for the online class, s/he will
receive an email that provides directions to
www.careerscapeonline.org and how to logon.
What
if a student has never used a computer before or does not own one?
Many students have completed the online classes without buying a
computer. Students may use the labs in Building 14 and 15 during the day
and many evenings, or they can use the computers at public libraries or Barnes & Noble.
If students need technical help, they can attend one of the workshops held
at the beginning of each class, seek help from the Media Center personnel in
Building 14, or find assistance in the computer lab in Building 15.
How
can students receive assistance with the online software?
The online instructors hold orientation classes at the beginning
of each course period.
(The dates are included
in the initial email sent to newly registered students.)
Students are encouraged to attend these sessions to meet their teachers,
start the online class, and understand what is expected of them.
Is
financial aid available for online classes?
At this time no online classes are
eligible for financial aid.
