Alternative Delivery


If you find it impossible to attend a traditional class because of distance or scheduling conflicts, one of our alternative delivery options may be for you. Alternative delivery coursework is done on an individual basis, with an instructor available for guidance and consultation. NOTE: All alternative delivery courses are approved for college credit. See your advisor concerning degree requirements.

Online Classes

EICC offers a variety of programs and online courses in cooperation with the Iowa Community College Online Consortium (ICCOC). Classes are available wherever you have access to a computer and the internet, and at the convenience of being able to fit them around busy work or family schedules. Many of EICC’s programs have courses that can be taken online, and several of EICC’s Career and Technical Education programs are completely online. To register for an online class, a student must first apply for admission at EICC. The schedule of online courses is on the EICC website. An academic advisor can answer any questions about the online courses being offered and enrollment, as well as what courses may be taken to complete a degree or program.

Flexclass Streaming

Flexclass Streaming includes classrooms at different sites. The instructor is at one site with students, while also video and audio streaming simultaneously to students in other classrooms at one or more distant sites.

Flexclass Blended

Flexclass Blended are classes delivered both in a traditional classroom and online. Students attend classes in the classroom part of the time and have additional online classwork to be completed.

Flexclass Blended Streaming

Flexclass Blended Streaming is a combination of Flexclass Streaming and Blended. Classes are taught simultaneously part of the time in two or more traditional classrooms, with video and audio streaming between the rooms, and the remainder of the work is completed online.

Personalized System of Instruction (PSI)

These are independent study classes in which the instructor assigns the student exercises and readings to be completed at home. The instructor is available for consultation during office hours, in special class meetings, by telephone or by e-mail. There may be exams to be taken at home or in the testing center.

Study Abroad

There are opportunities for students to gain college credit for study overseas. Financial aid funds may be available for student abroad programs. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for eligibility criteria. Please check with the Registrar’s Office or the EICC website to learn about the opportunities offered.
