We are pleased to provide a Community page
for Registered Students attending classes through North Seattle’s Virtual College. This page will be updated regularly with information and news for our students. Please reload and check this page frequently for updates, news and special announcements.

This is the place to check for information about your experience at North - we will keep you connected to those things that may effect you such as new classes offered, any schedule changes, profiles on students and instructors as well as a resource for technical help.

The staff at Virtual College wants our Distance Learners to have a positive educational experience and we are available to help you with any questions or problems you may have.

Need help to get

campus orientations.

I need to start my class how do I begin?
Virtual College recommends contacting your instructor by email the week before the quarter starts. Instructors e-mail's can be found by selecting the correct quarter from our Course Schedule page and finding your class in the listing and click on Class Details. If your course has an orientation it is important to attend as your instructor will furnish you with web sites, needed passwords and other pertinent information.



The staff in the Distance Learning office is available to help you with technical problems and to orientate you to Distance Learning.
Please contact us by email
distance@sccd.ctc.edu or by phone
206 527-3738.
If your question is specifically related to your course work please contact your instructor.

Is there a typical Distance Learning Student?
The Distance Learning office asks students every quarter to answer a demographic survey to help us better serve the needs of our students. Surprisingly enough many online learners live in the local area and could come to campus. Many cite convenience and work conflicts as reasons for taking distance learning classes. You can see the results of our survey by clicking Demographic Survey Results.

Please take our Demographic survey when you enroll so we can continue to respond to your concerns and needs.

“It’s the interaction with students which is so energizing and satisfying”, says Pat.  He adds, “The interaction is somewhat different in online teaching but in a way the interaction is more stimulating in that it occurs seven days a week.”   

Pat has a degree in Economics and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Seattle University.  He formerly worked for the Internal Revenue Service where is last position was Chief, Criminal Investigation Division, San Francisco.
