Tapes are not for check-out, but may be viewed at the campus library. Hours Telecourses are among the most flexible types of asynchronous instruction, permitting students access to college level courses at convenient times and in convenient locations. Telecourses follow the normal college schedule for spring, fall, and summer terms. All lessons are shown on CPCC-TV17 via Time Warner Cable in Mecklenburg County. Students may record lessons on personal VCR's and play them back when they choose.
All telecourse lessons are available for on-site viewing in all campus libraries.
Instructors receive a telecourse TV schedule well before a semester begins and notify students of the schedule during a required telecourse orientation. Holidays Telecourses are aired each term on a set schedule regardless of college holidays, breaks, and campus closings. Weather Snow days and severe inclement weather may prevent students from attending traditional classes, but telecourses are aired regardless of the weather. The station posts on-air notifications and notifies the College Without Walls Distance Learning Support Center. Registration is simple.
