Sometimes the college waives the student activities fee for telecourse students. Check out the list of colleges and public television stations that offer a degree through telecourses. All telecourse students are welcome to use the college library. Other campus privileges such as use of the computer lab and sporting events tickets may or may not be available. Please check with your college.
Many colleges offer financial aid for telecourse students.
If this is something you are considering, be sure to call your college as early as possible. Financial aid deadlines are often much earlier than registration deadlines. In fact, many students find that telecourses allow them to schedule more courses than if they were taking only on-campus classes. The telecourse or distance learning coordinator at your local college will be happy to provide you with information about telecourses. If you are working toward a degree, you'll also want to talk to an advisor in the department for your major.
