Delivery & Instruction
Courses are prepared by NCTA faculty who are certified to deliver high school courses for dual credit.
NCTA will deliver all dual credit courses via the Canvas learning management system. This virtual classroom provides flexibility to our learners allowing them to take the course at a time of day best suited to them and their school. The online courses contain lectures with audio voice-overs, discussion boards, assignments, online quizzes, tests and more.
Your courses will be loaded to Canvas the week before classes start at NCTA.
Interested students should have a 3.0 GPA. If a student does not meet this requirement, he or she will need a counselor's approval to take a dual credit course.
