A wide variety of online options
SCADnow offers more than 20 complete degree programs online, giving you the ability to explore multiple creative avenues and truly broaden your professional aspirations.
Flexible learning environment
SCADnow online is a multiplatform learning solution. Students can access and submit content through a variety of devices — mobile phones, tablets, desktops, or laptops — for a customized learning experience.
- Screen capture applications allow students to share images and videos with their classmates and professors.
- Video conferencing allows students to participate in live classroom events or watch the events at a later, more convenient time.
- Mobile devices allow students to document in-process work as it unfolds so peers and professors can view it and offer feedback.
This flexibility brings multiple advantages to both sides of the learning experience. As students submit images and videos for grading purposes, professors can respond with images and videos for teachable moments on the go.
SCADnow technical support
The SCAD technology support team is your first point of contact for technology assistance. Sensitive to the scheduling needs of SCADnow students, we offer extended hours to students located in different time zones and working outside normal business hours. Our team can assist with hardware- and software-related issues, as well as problems with the MySCAD intranet. Learn more about technology requirements and getting started as a SCADnow student.
