Classroom for Online Courses

Delgado Community College provides instruction through Canvas Learning Management System (LMS).

Students should be enrolled in a Student Canvas Orientation Course that will help them learn how to use the Canvas LMS. If you are not already enrolled in the orientation course, please request enrollment by contacting canvas@dcc.edu and providing your LoLA username and LoLA ID.

Canvas LMS provides 24/7/365 help via phone (844-408-6456), chat, or email. The helpdesk is able to support Canvas issues and troubleshoot or guide you with outside issues such as email help, LoLA password reset, and publisher and vendor product help.

Please review your course syllabus carefully. Delgado online classes may require proctored (supervised) exams or learning activities associated with verification of the student’s identity. Online students may have the option to go to a Delgado Community College campus/site or to a convenient off-campus location as approved by the instructor. Some courses require use of technology and a proctored testing software or service where additional fees may be assessed. Online proctoring charges are approximately $17.50 per one-hour exams for courses in which online monitoring is required. However, the above proctoring rate is only an estimate as course and testing requirements for online courses vary. In addition, Delgado Community College provides Respondus Lockdown Browser (RLDB) and Monitor Tool. RLDB is free to download. The link is specific for Delgado Community College and you will need to attain the link from your instructor. If your instructor uses RLDB with Monitor, a webcam will be required. Delgado students are responsible for checking with the instructor before the online course begins to ensure that the projected additional costs and the student’s schedule and location enable successful completion of all course requirements. For more information, see Distance Learning and Instructional Technology Student FAQs.
