For Videocassette courses, videotapes for the entire semester will be checked out to students at the beginning of the semester. These programs are not broadcast on Channel 8 or HCC-TV, and the tapes are not at the libraries. Students taking a print-based course also do course work at home, with assigned readings and written work, and take exams administered on campus. All distance education students, both new and returning, are required to attend an orientation session for each course they take. At the orientation session , the students meet the instructor and receive course information, as well as information on precedures.
Attendance is optional.
The campus attended for orientations may be different from the campus for review sessions and testing.
