  • Asynchronous: student logs in at anytime
  • Specialized courses: Local colleges may offer specialized courses, such as engineering, nursing, or advanced mathematics, that aren't available at the high school

College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP): Courses are dual enrollment courses offered during the school's site regular bell schedule. The courses can be offered in person or online, but meet synchronous. These courses are only open to students at their respective sites.
