About Distance Learning
Distance Learning provides students with a flexible, convenient way to earn college credit. Instead of attending classes on campus, DL students participate in non-traditional courses offered through a variety of delivery modes, including Online (PCM) classes, Instructional Television (ITV), Print-Based (PRN) courses, Directed Studies (DIR), and Hybrid (HYD) courses. Distance Learning courses are not self-paced; they run on the same semester schedules as on-campus courses, and have deadlines for completing assignments and exams. Activities may include reading textbooks, engaging in online chats, watching videos or streaming media, participating in discussion boards, using interactive course software, collaborating on group projects, and writing papers. Tests for most DL courses, including online classes, are taken on campus in the Academic Testing Centers. Course content and transferability is identical to courses offered on campus. DL students follow standard ACC registration procedures. All ACC admissions requirements apply. Like classroom courses at ACC, DL classes have limited enrollments, and may fill and close prior to the end of the registration period. DL courses provide students greater scheduling flexibility, but they also require good time management skills and self-motivation for successful completion. Distance learning may not suit every student's needs, expectations, or learning style. If you are considering a DL course, visit Distance Learning 101, a collection of online resources that may give you a better indication of your aptitude for distance education and help you decide whether a DL class is right for you.
