Frequently Asked Questions

Answer your most common questions about remote learning at the NBCCOC.

What is “Remote-Hybrid Learning” ?
Remote learning at the NBCCOC means learning without attending in-person. The NBCCOC uses Zoom/Teams as our virtual or remote classroom.  In a remote-hybrid course, faculty employ a mix of synchronous (live video class meetings) and in classroom attendance to maximize student attendance and engagement. Please speak to a staff member about which programs offer remote or hybrid learning as not all programs offer this option.

Your instructors or a staff member will provide all the resources (books, online courseware and Zoom/Teams login) you need to learn remotely. We advise students to check their emails for updates from their instructors.

Does my teacher offer virtual/on campus office hours?
During the first week of class your teacher will provide you with their scheduled office hours and how to schedule an appointment.

I missed some important class information? Who should I contact
The NBCCOC uses email and other contact information you provided. Please contact administration to let us know if this information needs to be updated.
