Summer Course Finder Finish Faster Online - Digital Futures

The California Virtual Campus – Online Education Initiative (CVC-OEI) is partnering with Cal State Online again to increase student access to online summer courses through Finish Faster Online.

Finish Faster Online, which launched in June 2018, promotes high quality and fully resourced online courses with badges indicating course completion, course quality and accessibility reviews, availability of online student readiness resources and availability of online tutoring from OEI Consortium colleges. It directly supports the Vision for Success by accelerating student completion through increased course access.

Leveraging the scale and expertise of the nation’s two largest systems of higher education, the summer online course finder provides students across California access to more than 10,000 online, transfer-level California Community Colleges (CCC) and California State University (CSU) courses. Students can search online summer course sections from all CCCs on both the CVC-OEI site and Cal State Online by:

start and end date
distance from home college

CSU General Education Breadth requirements.

The intersegmental collaboration will be jointly promoted by both systems.
