Welcome to Online Learning at Notre Dame College (NDC).
- NDC uses online tools to enhance courses and make them more engaging and effective. The use of online tools in an NDC course range from the usage of Zoom and Microsoft Teams for scheduled class meetings and interaction with instructors to discussion boards which promote class participation and student interaction. All courses at NDC use a Learning Management System (LMS) called Moodle. Online students must access Moodle in a different portal than on-campus students. Please see the link below:

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there two different portals for Moodle?
Fully online courses have students enrolled. Since students don’t meet together on a regular basis or in a standard classroom setting, these courses utilize additional tools such as virtual classrooms that have different technological requirements than the more standard functions used in face-to-face courses. These added features for fully online courses are best facilitated when housed on its own server. Currently, our on-campus Moodle site is supported by our IT department whereas our online Moodle site is supported by our education partner, Wiley.

Student Support Across State Lines
A State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is an agreement among its member states, districts and U.S. territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance-education courses and programs. It is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions in a state other than the one where they reside. SARA is overseen by a national council and administered by four regional higher education compacts.
If an issue cannot be resolved internally, you may file a complaint with your State. Below is a link with a list of each state’s agency concerning the complaint process. Most state complaint processes require students to pursue all avenues of complaint internal to the institution before contacting a state’s appropriate agency.
Notre Dame College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission a Commission of the North Central Association.
