Baton Rouge Community College encourages all students to complete an Electronic Learning Assessment prior to registering for online courses. This self assessment tool will help you determine whether or not an online class will meet your needs. Once you have taken the self assessment and are still considering taking online courses, then proceed with the registration process (see Registration Steps). All students interested in registering for online courses should contact their assigned advisor for assistance.
