DISTANCE LEARNING CLASSES

The Distance Learning Program is an alternative method of delivery designed to reach those students who find it difficult to attend classes on campus. Students may earn college credit through a flexible timetable adapted to their individual time constraints. These classes are offered through a variety of formats: online, interactive televised classes, and telecourses.

Distance learning courses are academically equivalent to on-campus classes. Students must satisfy prerequisites and may be required to attend class on limited, set dates

as designated by each instructor. Students considering enrolling as distance learners need to be mature and self- motivated. The instructors at College of the Redwoods will maintain regular correspondence with the distance learner but success ultimately depends on the independence and time management skills of the student.

The classes offered as part of the distance learning program are listed in the class schedule and may be found under each department heading. All distance learning classes are also grouped together in one section of the schedule. Mandatory attendance requirements will be listed. Students must meet these requirements.

Students register for their distance learning classes during the regular registration period and follow the regular registration procedures.

Distance learning classes provide opportunities for life- long learning. If you are an independent, organized, motivated student and have problems attending on-campus classes, you may want to consider a distance learning class.
