Online Learning Support
Spring 22 Classes
As we navigate the current COVID-19 surge, some Heartland Community College courses will operate online.
If you are a student, instructors will contact you via your Heartland email or through your classes in Canvas with details about how class course content is being delivered, and the duration of this format.
All College offices and services will remain open during this time and students whose classes are remote may come to campus to access Wi-Fi, log-in to courses, and have quiet places to learn/study.

All students and faculty now have Zoom professional status accounts enabled. Simply go to https://heartland.zoom.us and click "Sign In" to confirm that your account has been allocated. This will enable you to schedule and host Zoom meetings. Zoom is an easy-to-use product that can be downloaded to your desktop, laptop or mobile device (recommended) or students can also use Zoom on the web. Many of the instructors will share their own personal Zoom links with students so that students are able to join the instructor live online.
