Jefferson Community College is currently transitioning to a different online course delivery system called Blackboard. For Winter 2008 and Spring 2009, some courses will be on Blackboard while some will remain on the SUNY Learning Network (SLN). By Fall 2009, ALL of JCC’s online courses will have been converted to Blackboard.
For Winter 2008 (12/22/08 - 01/13/09) - you can start doing coursework as of 12/15/08. The winter courses are 15-week classes compressed into a 4-week time frame. It is estimated that between 30-35 hours of study time per week is needed to succeed in a 4-week class. Due to the accelerated pace, we strongly recommend students to start doing coursework as of 12/15/08.
