Internet Classes

Internet based classes are taught either totally online or as physical class enhancements.

The totally online class has an extension that is Z. For example, English would be ENG 101 B5Z1 and have a note that explains that the student must have "Internet Access."

For a current list of classes, see Schedule of Classes. Information about getting into class is sent from the Kentucky Virtual Campus (KYVC) West Kentucky Community & Technical College and the class instructor about a week before the class begins.

Most Internet classes require a proctored final exam. For proctoring sites, see this link. Information on individual class requirements will be given in a class.

Internet courses: You must have an Internet provider, active KCTCS e-mail address, and compatible word processor (MS Word or WordPerfect). Go to http://www.elearning.kctcs.edu/ for a complete listing of all KYVC Internet courses. The college's Web site, http://www.westkentucky.kctcs.edu/ , also provides a complete listing of distance learning classes in addition to providing the syllabus and objectives for many classes, a virtual course tour, and login information.

Financial Aid: Students approved for financial aid assistance or VA educational assistance AND who are taking KYVU classes from a school other than their home school must contact the Financial Aid Office at the home school (the school approving funds) to complete additional requirements before funds can be approved.

Textbooks: Textbooks for West Kentucky Community and Technical College internet courses can be purchased at the WKCTC bookstore. Textbooks for the WKCTC internet courses or internet courses taught by any other Kentucky Community and Technical College System college can be purchased through the central bookstore for internet courses at http://ashlandctc.bkstore.com . Simply log on to the website, follow instructions, and the books will be charged to your Student Financial Aid (SFA) or credit card account and sent directly to your home. EXCEPTIONS to this practice are for all 'Third Party' providers. Third party students sponsored by TAA, VA, NAFTA, etc. will need to visit their local KCTCS bookstore and request an order for the books. The books will be ordered by and sent to the bookstore. The student then returns to the bookstore, picks up the books, and signs for the charges. Any SFA charges (including 3rd party) can occur during pre-approved charge dates only. Actual charge dates often vary from college to college.
