WELCOME TO BCTC ONLINE LEARNING!

Bluegrass Community and Technical College offers a variety of online learning opportunities available via the internet. Students enrolling in online classes have the freedom of working on their classes from anywhere they have an internet connection, the classes are available 24/7, and there are several transfer degrees that allow students to complete their first 2 years online at BCTC and the last 2 years online for a bachelor's degree from area colleges and universities.

BCTC students may take Local Online classes (open only to BCTC students) and/or KYVC Online classes (open to students world-wide) offered by any KCTCS institution.  BCTC can remain your “Home College” and credits are automatically accepted and recorded by BCTC.  Please see the Online Course Schedule for a listing of the Local and World-wide classes being offered each semester. 

Professors may give students the freedom to work at their own pace; while others may provide a window of time to turn in homework and take quizzes or exams (this information will be provided in the syllabus). Some classes may also require students to take proctored exams, usually no more than two (A proctored exam is where students must find someone to monitor them while they take the exam).

Proctors are provided by all 16 colleges within the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) and the guidelines for these exams can be found at www.kctcs.edu/distancelearning/testingcenters.htm.

BCTC also participates in the Kentucky Virtual Campus and the LearningNowOnline Consortium.  

• The KYVC simplifies access to quality college credit, professional development, and supplemental studies. The KYVC provides a single access point to statewide learning support services, including KYVL, thus serving as a seamless transition to higher education for Kentucky citizens.
• LearnAnytime is a convenient and flexible option for attending college and pursuing a degree. LearnAnytime classes are delivered online via the Internet. Enrollment and learning may begin any day of the year. The classes are self-paced although learners must complete in 150 days from the start of course date. Currently, financial aid is not available to pay for LearnAnytime classes.
