Skagit Valley College Distance Education Classes Telecourses are designed for people who cannot attend classes regularly. Courses meet approximately three times during the quarter for orientation and testing. Telecourses use a video series viewed at local libraries or rented from the Distance Education office.
Instructors are available by phone or appointment.
You will purchase a textbook and study guide. Your learning packet will include homework assignments and instructions. Tapes are available for rental through the Distance Education office for most telecourses. If you register for a telecourse on the Mount Vernon Campus after September 18, you must get a learning packet from the Distance Education office. Whidbey students who register after December 31 call 416-7770 to have a Learning Packet mailed to their home.
