There are several ways to register for a course. Please see How to Register.

Refer to the Academic Calendar.

You can access your course through Canvas.

1. You're looking too soon. Your courses will not show up in the courses list until the first day of class.
2. The course is unpublished. Your instructor may not have published the course yet. This step has to be taken before any students can see the course. If you believe that you should see the course but don't, contact your instructor.
3. You need to customize your courses list. The courses list can be customized to show only certain courses. To make sure some of your courses aren't hiding, select Courses in the pane on the left, select All Courses, and make sure all of your current courses have a star next to them.
4. You registered less than 2 hours ago. The server requires up to 2 hours to push newly registered students into their courses.
5. Your instructor does not use Canvas. All online courses are on Canvas, but not all face-to-face courses are. Your instructor may have chosen not to use Canvas. Contact your instructor to double check.
6. If you continue to have issues, please contact DMC Helpdesk for assistance 361-698-2330.

It depends on whether the class is hybrid (partial face-to-face and online). For a fully online class please check instructor syllabus to determine if there are any face-to-face meetings.

Most courses have tests online; however, you may have a test administered on campus. There may also be an online proctoring service set up, please check with your instructor. If you have any questions, please contact the Academic Department.

Del Mar College courses are designed with your busy schedule in mind, providing the flexibility you need to study at the times most convenient to you.

The majority of the courses are structured for asynchronous learning to provide maximum flexibility for the adult learner.

All of your course activities, assignments, and exams, however, must be completed by their respective due dates. The typical length of our courses is 8 to 16 weeks. Some courses may also contain online group work that you need to take into consideration.

Students enrolled at Del Mar College could spend approximately 8 to 12 hours per week on readings and assignments for a 3-credit course. Plan to spend extra time when you have papers, projects, or exams.

You can apply for graduation here.

Yes, you still have the opportunity to celebrate your accomplishment and graduate with your class. You are invited to attend the same commencement ceremony as those on campus. This is often the first time that our students set foot on campus, as well as meet their classmates, faculty, and academic advisers in person. It is truly an exciting and emotional experience, and we are honored to be able to share in this joyous occasion with you.

An ideal student will have the ability to be self-disciplined, have good time management and organizational skills.

Any person with a high school diploma or its equivalent (GED) may register for noncredit, undergraduate courses. Online courses are ideal for working professionals, military personnel, stay–at–home parents, people with disabilities, and human resources managers looking for new opportunities for employees.
