The purpose of the Online Academy is to provide faculty with the training they need to successfully offer their classes online. The college has recognized the importance of this training, and it is included as a requirement for teaching online classes in Administrative Procedure 772, Virtual Campus.

If you are interested in being considered for the next Online Academy training, please follow the instructions outlined below:

• Complete an electronic application for each proposed course:
  • Complete and submit your application electronically. (The Virtual Campus will seek an electronic approval from the appropriate dean you specified on your application)
  • NOTE: You must be ‘course qualified’ to teach the course you seek to develop, by the appropriate College discipline or department, prior to applying to the Online Academy!
    • If you are currently teaching as an adjunct faculty member, please contact your department chair to let them know you are planning to apply to the Online Academy. This will speed the process of certifying your ability to teach the course.
    • If you currently do not teach for the College, please apply to teach as an adjunct by going to http:/jobs.hacc.edu and filling out an application. Then contact the department chair to tell them that you have completed the adjunct application and that you would like to apply for the Online Academy. This will allow them to complete the certification process.
    • A list of the department chairs is located here. We try to keep this as up to date as possible.
