The courses offered in this format lead to completion of MCCCD degrees and/or certificates of completion. Colleges use Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas and RioLearn for online offerings. These portals are used for both hybrid and online classes. Students must use their Maricopa Enterprise ID and password to access the portal. The link to the portal is provided on the college home page and on my.maricopa.edu, the district's website for student access to Maricopa tools. Maricopa-assigned student e-mail addresses are used for communicating with students within the tools. Students are also able to communicate with the instructor through the LMS, via Maricopa e-mail or by phone. Externship Programs The Maricopa Community College's official district course descriptions for credited experiential learning opportunities (Internships, Externships, Practicums, and Clinicals) state the amount of hours required in order for a student to receive college credit. The descriptions also indicate if a maximum amount of credit is allowable for any given experiential learning opportunity. Each course that includes an experiential learning opportunity is assigned a Maricopa instructor of record who is responsible for ensuring that the student completes the required hours and assignments in order to receive credit. Additionally, the instructor works extensively with a site supervisor to ensure that the student is making satisfactory progress and meeting the time requirements. The experiential credit process for the student includes the specific course details and learning outcomes, how hours will be tracked, and what is required for grading and course completion. The instructor submits the final grade for the experience. Maricopa's experiential learning process is in compliance with CFR 38 21.4265. A complete list of internship courses, along with course objectives, can be found on the Maricopa Community College's District – Center for Curriculum and Transfer Articulation website, located at: https://asa.maricopa.edu/departments/center-for-curriculum-transfer-articulation Prior Credit Evaluation Department of Veterans Affairs requires that all persons using any type of Veteran's educational assistance must have all prior education and training evaluated. Students will be required to request transcripts from all prior institutions, including military training. Without all prior institutions and military training, veteran educational assistance may not be certified. Transcripts will be evaluated and credit will be granted, as appropriate.
