Communications Courses

Diploma, advanced diploma, and some certificate programs require you to take COM101 or COM111 — Communicating Across Contexts. Admission criteria will be used to determine if you will take COM101 or COM111. Both are one-semester credit course. COM101 is offered three hours per week, and COM111 is offered six hours per week.

In these courses, you will develop the skills to take something you learned in one communication context and apply that knowledge successfully to another context, setting or task. You will be challenged to think deeply about the writing processes and adopt specific vocabulary for different situations. You will also learn to draw conclusions on existing resources and seek new resources through research and utilize the findings in your communications. 

You will be able to add the course you require through the online Student Home when you are building your timetable. If you have questions about your English level when English has been added to your timetable, please go to your first scheduled class.

Please note: COM101 and COM111 are not general education courses.  

Modes of Delivery

English and Liberal Studies courses will be delivered in one of the following formats:

  • In-person (P) — This course is fully in person and requires you to come to campus. 
  • Hybrid (H) — Some parts of this course are in person and other parts are online. You will need to come to campus to complete in-person requirements. 
  • Online Asynchronous (OA) — This online course doesn't have a scheduled class time. You learn and study on your own time, while completing online learning modules by the assigned due dates. 
  • Online Synchronous & Asynchronous (OB) — This is an online course that includes some scheduled class time and some independent study. Depending on the professor, this scheduled time may be used for drop-in sessions and/or live lectures or assessments.
