Telecourses are academically rigorous courses developed by the nation s most respected and experienced colleges, public television stations, and independent producers. They are comprehensive instructional packages that typically include the telecourse series, a textbook and a student study guide. When you register, you will be assigned a telecourse instructor who will provide you with the course syllabus. To earn the credits for a telecourse, you will need to fulfill all coursework facilitated by your college s instructor, who will monitor your progress, communicate with you through class meetings, mail, phone or computer, and evaluate your assignments and examinations.
Pricing varies among colleges.
Contact your college s admissions department for details, and don t forget to inquire about financial aid. Record the telecourses as they are broadcast overnight and then view them at your convenience. If you are having trouble programming your VCR, help is available through the college. Telecourses that aren t broadcast in their entirety will be rebroadcast. Rebroadcast information is also posted on the HCS Web site.
