Yes. These courses are top-quality, accredited, academically rigorous courses. They are the equivalent of the on-campus version of the course. Each course is worth 3 credits.
Currently 7 of our online courses require you to attend class at a given time as there is a face-to-face video component. These classes are 1.5 hours long and require students to read and prepare Courseware beforehand. They use the Adobe Connect Learning Management System (LMS) and are synchronous, which means there is a specific class time at which you must attend. Course information will specify if your course is one of these classes.
12 of our online courses have no face-to-face component and students do most of the course work in their own time. There are deadlines for assignments and exams and quizzes to complete, but there is no direct interaction with an instructor. However, each instructor of these types of courses will have their own method for recording attendance. This will usually take the form of posting answers on a Discussion Forum or something similar. These courses use the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) and are asynchronous, which means there is no specific face-to-face class which you must attend.
If you are uncertain, please contact your instructor through Mio to verify how they are recording attendance on your course.
Each course takes a 3-month quarter (11 weeks) to complete.
All courses are on our e-learning website: www.ilasallecampus.com/
You will be issued a USERNAME and PASSWORD to access your classes at that site.
The USERNAME and PASSWORD will be sent to the email used when registering for the course. Please check that email and its Junk Mail or Spam folder.

There are two types of online course at LaSalle College Vancouver – SYNCHRONOUS & ASYNCHRONOUS. Make sure you inquire as to what type of course you are taking when you register for an online course.
SYNCHRONOUS courses are virtual video classes that meet at a set time and last for 1.5 hours. Courseware must be prepared and reviewed before each class.
ASYNCHRONOUS courses can be done in your own time and require minimal instructor supervision. They are 3-4 hours long and require students to do self-guided work.
