Community colleges are urged by the United States Department of Education (USDE) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) to explore new paradigms in distance education to help plan for future generations of students who work in the global market and need flexible learning opportunities. Community college enrollment, completion, and assessment data confirm that successful teaching and learning occur in hybrid and online environments. As a result of hybrid and online scheduling, traditional classroom seat time is reduced. This provides colleges with opportunities to increase student engagement programming, which is the scheduling of cohort based programs designed to increase student retention and completion such as service learning, peer mentoring, athletics, honors, internships, and student life. Student engagement programs support educationally effective practices, both inside and outside the classroom, which lead to measurable positive outcomes. Traditionally, course scheduling and student engagement program functions fall under separate administrator scope of responsibilities, academics and student affairs, that tends to lead to a lack of understanding of how to leverage 21st century scheduling with student engagement programming to support student retention and completion. Through a guided semi-structured interview process with twelve sophomore-level students, this qualitative case study was used to explore how students perceive scheduling format options' impacts on their ability to participate in engagement activities and, therefore, their ability/desire to retain and complete. This study confirms that scheduling format options offer students opportunity to carve out time and participate in student engagement programming. Participants in this study confirmed that they are currently leveraging alternative delivery options, when available, to participate in student engagement programming and accelerate degree completion. This study offers evidence that alternative course delivery options provide students with more opportunity to participate in student engagement programs because with alternative delivery options students can flex their time based on individual program requirements, learning styles, cost, and work and family commitments. The significance of this study is that it demonstrates the relationship between alternative delivery course scheduling, student engagement program participation, and community college completion. Results from this study include advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face, hybrid, and online course scheduling, community college student scheduling challenges and preferences, the relationship between the creation of information networks and student engagement programs, factors that prohibit student participation in engagement programs, and lastly, student scheduling preferences that increase student participation in engagement programs.
