What to expect when taking a BCD class through Chemeketa Community College

These self-paced classes are available to you online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can decide if you want to take the whole course, usually somewhere between 3 and 8 hours long, in one session or come back to the class several times to finish the work. Each course costs $35 dollars.

The course structure is set up in succession; you need to finish the first lesson before you can continue to the second lesson. There are short quizzes at the end of each lesson that you need to complete before the next lesson becomes available. Be sure to take advantage of all the parts of a lessons, presentations, videos, etc., before you take the quiz. The system keeps track of all the time you spend in each lesson.

Chememketa Quarter Schedule

Because Chemeketa Community College is on a quarter system, our courses will be unavailable during their quarter breaks. You must complete the course you are registered for before the end of the quarter you registered in. For example; if you registered to take the Energy Efficiency Specialty Code course in the Winter of 2012 quarter you would have until March 24, 2012 to complete the course. If you do not finish the course within this time period you will either not get continuing education credits for the course or re-register (paying the $35 again and start the course from the beginning). The college quarter schedule is as follows:

Fall: Sept. 26 to Dec. 10 (break between Dec. 10 and Jan. 9, 2012)
Winter: Jan. 9 to March 24 (break between March 24 and April 2, 2012)
Spring: April 2 to June 16 (break between June 16 and beginning of summer quarter)
