Paralegal Technology Night and Online Courses
The Paralegal Technology Department offers daytime and night classes that meet face-to-face in our classroom; in addition we offer some fully online classes. For students who have conflicts during the day, the program can be completed with a combination of night and online classes.
AAS Degree students will also need general education courses, the time and format of which are set by the departments that teach those courses—these courses are also offered at night and online.
Currently, the schedule of Paralegal Technology night and online courses is as follows:
| Semester | Night Classes | Online Classes |

Please be aware, the care needed in sequencing of night and online courses requires that the advisor and student meet early and regularly to ensure the most expeditious path through the program.
