Please contact your major department before registering if you intend a correspondence course to fulfill a major requirement. It is a fully accredited college course in which you learn the same information you would in a classroom, BUT you study independently with the aid of a study guide prepared by the instructor. The study guide includes lecture notes, a syllabus, number of assignments, essay questions, instructions for exams or instructions for a research paper. Learning aids may include audio tapes, video tapes, and slides. Lesson packets and textbooks for each course may be purchased at the Auraria Book Center.
Information regarding textbooks is in the lesson packet.
If you are a new student to MSCD, you must complete an admission application prior to registering. Even though you have a year to complete a correspondence course, you are only considered to be registered for it in the semester that you initially register. MSCD allows a total of 30 credit hours of correspondence courses to be used toward a baccalaureate degree. You must check with your faculty or academic advisor to determine which correspondence courses will count for your particular degree requirements. If you are completing a degree at an institution other than MSCD, you must check with your own college to see which correspondence courses are approved for your degree.
