Online Classes and Programs

For information about whether most of the classes in a specific program can be taken online, please call at (828) 398-7900 or email info@abtech.edu.

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. 

If you would like to take classes online at your convenience, select one of the following section codes:

• OA — Online Asynchronous (Students and instructor do not meet online at the same time)    
• SA — Seated Asynchronous (Student may attend in person or access class online at their convenience)    
• Z — Hy-Flex Option (Instruction is delivered in three ways: fully seated, online synchronous, and online asynchronous. Students can change their mode of attendance in any given week.)

If you can be available online at a specific time, you can also select one of the following codes:

• OS — Online Synchronous (students and instructor meet online at the same time)    
• SS — Seated Synchronous (student may attend in person or access class online at a designated time)
