Distance Education
We’re happy you chose College of The Albemarle (COA) and we want to help you reach your educational goals with Distance Education and online programs.
During your educational career at COA, you’ll need to regularly access MyCourses for course content (syllabi, class schedules, class assignments, quizzes/exams), which your instructor has placed in MyCourses. Therefore, after you have registered for courses and have access to MyCourses, we strongly encourage you to complete the online class “COA 101 – Introduction to MyCourses (Moodle) for Students” to become familiar with this environment right from the start.
Access a list of our fully online associate degree and certificate programs.
After you have registered for a class you will be able to log into MyCourses (Moodle). Use the same username and password you created when you activated your COA accounts. If you have reset your password since activating your COA account, use the new password. Once logged into MyCourses, you’ll see at a minimum and have access to the following:
- COA 101 – Introduction to MyCourses (Moodle) for Students
- ASC – Academic Support Center
Note: Due to audit requirements, all other classes won’t be visible until the first day of classes, starting at 12:15 a.m., at which time you’ll be able to view your current semester classes.
