Distance Learning

Distance Learning includes traditional delivery technologies such as videotape, video conferencing and web-based instruction to provide services to students at a distance. The College of Continuing and Professional Studies works with the Academic Units to facilitate those courses and to develop full degree programs and certificates.

Who should take Distance Learning classes?
Are you self-motivated and self-disciplined?
Do you have time or family needs that make it difficult to regularly drive to campus?
Do you have access to and can use a home computer with internet access?
Do you think that this might be a way for you to further your education in a convenient manner?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Distance Learning may be for you!

How does a Distance Learning class compare to a traditional class? Each Distance Learning class is the equivalent of an on-campus section of the same course, in terms of objectives, content, rigor, and transferability. Students must meet stated prerequisites or assessment scores, where applicable. The course requirements for the Distance Learning class are the same as the on-campus classes. The main difference is the degree of flexibility that Distance Learning classes provide the student.

How do students register for Distance Learning? Students register for Distance Learning in the same way that they register for all credit courses through the Office of the Registrar on each campus. Tuition is the same, but an additional technology fee may apply to some classes.
