In 2003 CCCOnline was recognized as one of the top three virtual consortiums in the United States by Carol Twigg of the Center for Academic Transformation (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute).   CCCOnline's quality assurance practices garnered it the 2004 Western Cooperative's WOW! award.

Student Information:  

To register for classes offered through CCCOnline a student chooses a home college (http: //www.ccconline.org/start/finding_college. htm ).  
When a student applies to a home college he/she is given a Student ID and PIN which allow students access to courses and other information through the home college's online information system.   Processing of applications take 48 hours after which students can register for courses.  The home college, not CCCOnline, will transcribe grades after courses have been finished.

Faculty Information

:   The heart of CCCOnline's instruction is its faculty.   From the start, CCCOnline has recruited qualified higher education faculty who are first and foremost committed to facilitating and communicating with students for the sake of each learner's success.   Through a wide range of professional development workshops and in online and face-to-face training sessions, CCOnline provides training and ongoing workshops to develop and expand faculty's online technical and instructional abilities. CCCOnline expects faculty to actively engage in continuous learning and is committed to providing opportunities for them.   CCCOnline currently employs about 275 adjunct faculty; many have been with CCCOnline since its inception.
