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."
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). For a complete listing of all KYVC Internet courses click here.

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 Somerset Community College internet courses can be purchased at the SCC bookstore. Textbooks for SCC 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.
