Description

Online non-credit courses at Virginia Tech award no college credits; they are simply designed to enhance your personal or professional development. In some cases, a certification is awarded (check individual descriptions for details).

The courses are completely online (delivered over the Internet) and are self-paced. Some are designed for students to work independently, and others involve interaction, such as email or online chats, with an instructor.

Online non-credit courses can be taken from anywhere in the world. Most can be taken at any time and repeatedly during the subscription period.

Timetables

Since most courses are self-paced, you can start and end at any time. Registration is always open. Once you register for the self-paced courses, you'll have open access to the course content for one full year. (Note: there are a few exceptions to this timetable; some courses are shorter so check the course description carefully before registering.)

Enrollment

You can register for online non-credit courses through the VTOnline website. Registration works like an online shopping cart. Browse the courses that interest you, add the ones you want to a list, and 'check out' when your list is complete.

Payment

Payment for non-credit courses must occur online with a credit card or check during the registration process. We cannot enroll you until we have received your payment (our payment system is completely secure). Credit cards accepted include VISA and MASTERCARD only

Refunds for non-credit courses are possible under certain conditions.
