Online Courses and Programs
Where can I find more information about Middlesex online course offerings? You can find information about MCC online course offerings at the Distance Learning website http://www.middlesex.mass.edu/Online/, or by calling Middlesex Interactive at 781-280-3716 and leaving a message. Do online courses have the same credits as regular courses? Yes, online courses carry the same credits as the equivalent face-to-face sections. Is it on my transcript that I took this course online? No. Your transcript will only indicate that you have taken the course, not the format of the course (e.g. face-to-face, online, self-paced, etc.) How do I know if online learning is right for me? Online learning is not for everyone. There is a survey on the website that will help you to decide if online learning is right for you. (http://www.middlesex.mass.edu/online/autosurvey.htm) How do I register for an online course? You register for an online course the same way you register for a traditional course: phone, fax, online, or in person. Just make sure to use the correct section number. Will I receive a disk in the mail? No. Middlesex uses a system called Blackboard to offer online courses. You can access the Middlesex Blackboard system by going to the following website: https://mymcc.middlesex.mass.edu and entering your user name and password. What is my username and password? IMPORTANT NOTICE: There has been a change in all student accounts in the Middlesex Blackboard System (MyMCC). Students can locate their new log in information by going to the following URL: https://GetMyMCC.middlesex.mass.edu/getpw/ps/Default.aspx Registered online students will be enrolled into a demonstration course called "Essential Skills for Online Learners".Back to TopDo online courses require me ever to come on campus? Some online courses will require you to come to campus occasionally for an exam or a lab, although many will not. Look at the syllabus of the course you are taking to see if there are any on-campus requirements. Back to TopWhat do I do if I experience a problem in my online course? If you experience technical problems, you should contact the Middlesex Technology Center Helpdesk at 978-656-3301. If you experience problems in your online course related to subject matter, you should contact your teacher. If you have problems that go beyond technical or subject matter concerns, you should contact the Distance Learning Department at 781-280-3716. Back to TopHow much does it cost to take classes online at Middlesex? All course tuition, and fees information can be found on the MCC Bursar's homepage.
