Frequently Asked Questions
To start the process of taking a class in the IT Academy, you must first place your name on the wait list. This can be done by clicking on the following link and selecting the class you wish to take: https://itacademy.stanly.edu/waitlist.aspx
If you wish to take multiple classes, you must sign up on the wait list for each class you wish to take. Once your name is on the wait list, our registration technicians will register for the classes in a First In First Out manner (FIFO). We cannot guarantee you will be enrolled in the next set of classes at the IT Academy, but we will do everything we can to enroll you in a class as quickly as possible. Once you are enrolled, the registration technicians send an email with payment details, and it is your responsibility to pay for the class in a timely manner.
Each course is 8 weeks (about 2 months) in length.
Each course varies, but most of our courses will have at least one weekly meeting at a time to be determined by the instructor based on the students’ availability. These will be recorded if you are unable to attend. The rest of the material will be scheduled asynchronously. This will allow students to work in their own time, and at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for adult learners who need to balance their education with work and family responsibilities. It also provides a way for students who live far away from a school or university to participate in courses remotely. However, there will be quizzes, labs, and assignments with due dates to help you stay on track to finish the class.
Yes, all IT academy courses are offered in a fully online format.
