Online Curriculum Classes
The way a specific class is offered can vary by semester, and it can be difficult to say ahead of time which classes will be offered online, since course schedules depend on a number of changing factors. A-B Tech offers two different online class formats:
- OA - Online Asynchronous (students and instructor do not meet online at the same time)
- OT - Online Synchronous (students and instructor meet online at the same time)
Refer to our Search for Class Availability article for instructions in looking up which classes are currently available in an online format. More information about course section identifiers can be found by visiting abtech.edu/registration and selecting Course Section Identifiers.
Residency Status and Online Class Eligibility
According to federal law, only students residing in certain states may enroll in distance education (online) curriculum classes. Refer to abtech.edu/distance for more information.
