• Online Courses

  If you’ve registered for online course(s), your Parenting Program instructor will email you regarding your course a few days before or on the first day of class. However, students are responsible for logging into Canvas weekly to participate beginning the first week of class.

  • Canvas is the online learning management system for all of NOCE’s online courses. To learn how to log into Canvas, visit this webpage: Admissions and Records FAQs
  • For technical assistance in learning how to use Canvas, review the resources available from the NOCE Career Skills and Resource Lab and the Student Technology Resource Lab on the Admissions and Records FAQs – Technical Questions webpage.
• In-Person and Hybrid Courses

  If you’ve registered for in person or hybrid courses, be sure to attend your class the first week it begins (or the week you’ve enrolled if you’re joining a class that is already in progress). Registered students who don’t attend during the first week of class may be dropped from the class to make room for other waitlisted students.

  Waitlisted students will be notified automatically if a spot in the class becomes available. Please do NOT go in person to classes for which you are waitlisted. 

  • Note: Parenting classes held at community locations often are designed to accept registration in class during the first week of class.  However, self-registration online before the class begins is always available and helps ensure that the class will not be cancelled due to low enrollment.

Important Details About Parent-and-Child Classes:

Joyful Parenting, Developmental Movement, and Raising Thoughtful Children

Joyful Parenting, Developmental Movement, and Raising Thoughtful Children are courses taken by an adult student. In these courses only, the enrolled adult student is accompanied to class by their child(ren) to participate in learning activities for parents alongside their child(ren).  Please note the following:

1. Students can enroll in multiple sections of the same parent-and-child course within the semester or term. (For example, students can enroll in two or more sections of PARN 101, Joyful Parenting, during any term, such as the Spring or Summer Semester.)

2. The registered student in the class is the adult. The adult attendee can be a parent, grandparent, stepparent, foster parent, child’s caregiver, or other adult guardian.
3. The registered student (adult) must accompany their child to Joyful Parenting, Developmental Movement, and Raising Thoughtful Children class meetings. Children are not to be dropped off and cannot attend alone. Note: Children cannot participate in any other in-person NOCE courses.
4. Up to two children can attend class with each registered adult.
5. The same adult is expected to attend each class meeting. If more than one adult from a household would like to attend class, each adult will need to be registered as a student in the class in order to attend.
6. Consistent attendance is vital to allow adult students to experience everything the instructor has planned for students in the course. Consistent attendance also helps NOCE keep its classes open since student attendance is the basis by which NOCE receives funding for these tuition-free classes. Students may refer to the course syllabus regarding important attendance policies for parent-and-child class(es).
