Online Programs

The Tennessee Board of Regents continues to broaden instructional offerings online through the portal http://www.rodp.org known as the Regents Online Campus Collaborative. Within the technology center system, three programs and some short courses are offered through the Regents Online Degree Program and some continuing education classes are offered through the Regents Online Continuing Education program. The three preparatory, career track programs offered online are: Business Systems Technology. The program offers online equivalents of the four on-ground diplomas. All diplomas are one-year in length. Computer Information Technology. Only the Computer Information Systems track is offered online. This track features a greater emphasis on troubleshooting system operations, software issues (Microsoft Office suite of products), JAVA, Photoshop, web page design with Dreamweaver, and preparation for CompTIA’s A+ hardware and software tests. Drafting and CAD Technology. This full-year program is offered through the statewide collaborative. Students seeking in-depth information about online classes should visit http://www.rodp.org and become familiar with all the resources available through the website. To begin the registration process, students must click on the Enroll Today button, then click on the Tennessee Technology Center listings and follow the enrollment steps. Once the prospective student submits the Student Profile, the RODP system will automatically send an alert to the home campus the student selected. Simultaneously, the prospective student needs to have submitted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov). Once the student receives confirmation that the FAFSA has been processed by the federal government, the student should then contact the financial aid office at TTC Dickson to complete processing of the financial aid file. When the registration period opens for an upcoming term, TTC Dickson’s Student Services department will contact prospective students to register for classes and collect tuition or use the financial aid award toward tuition costs. At present, TTC Dickson doesn’t allow charging of online book costs against financial aid awards. Books must be ordered through the online virtual bookstore. Exception: Books for online students will be ordered through the school if a third party entity (WorkForce agency, Vocational Rehabilitation, etc.) is covering the student’s costs. Students must complete the classes they register for within the term. There is no carry-over of coursework in an individual class from one term to the next.
