Blackhawk Technical College students should refer to the academic plan in the MyBTC Degree Audit card. Students are introduced to their Degree Plans during the Advising, Registration and Onboarding (ARO) process. Following an academic plan will help keep students on track for program completion. Students should speak to their assigned academic advisor if they have questions about their academic plan or course schedule.

Blackhawk offers flexible education at various locations and times in an effort to better meet students' needs. When registering for classes, students should take note of the times, location and method of delivery for the classes.

Flexible Learning

Blackhawk provides courses in alternative delivery formats:

MyEdChoice

This option allows students to choose how to attend each class and does not lock them into one format. In a MyEdChoice class, students have the option to attend:

• live during class time using video conferencing, or
• online at anytime

Students can mix and match how they attend class or pick the option that works best for them.
