Online Learning @ Metro State

Login to Online Courses

Registered students may login to online classes on the start date of the semester. Classes are not available until the semester begins. To access your online classes, login to MetroConnect and select the My Courses tab.

Online Courses General Information

Metro Students can take advantage of online courses, which take place in a learning environment that is like a classroom without walls. Rather than driving to campus several times a week to attend classes in a traditional classroom, students can attend classes through the Internet. Students who are enrolled in an online course should visit this page BEFORE classes begin.

About Online Courses

If you are considering taking an online course for the first time, you may be wondering what to expect and if an online course is a good choice for you. We would like to help you make an informed decision by providing you with information about online learning at Metro State.

Before registering for your first online course, we suggest that you learn more about what an online course is and then assess whether online learning is right for you. You may even want to take a self-assessment to determine if you have the personal characteristics and technical knowledge you will need to do well in an online course.

Getting Started

If you would like to register for one or more online courses, please review the information about registration. For course descriptions and information about prerequisites, see the Metro State College Catalog. If you aren't sure which courses to register for, the Academic Advising office can help you determine which online courses will fulfill the requirements of your chosen degree program.

After you have registered for your online course, it is suggested that you learn about WebCT (Metro State's course management system) before logging in to your course for the first time. Metro provides free WebCT Training to teach you how to navigate and interact in the WebCT learning environment. It is also very important to verify that your computer meets all of the neccesary technical requirements before your online class begins.

Current Online Students

To access your online course, login to MetroConnect and select the My Courses tab.

If you need learning support, Metro State has numerous resources available for you. There are also many student services that can help you connect with other students, find college activities to participate in, and access College resources online.

If you are registered for a WebCT online course and you are experiencing a login or technical problem, please contact the online Metro Ask-IT Help Desk or call 1-877-352-7548 (1-877-35AskIT).
