The program was also designed with the returning or transfer student in mind. The advisor will also work with you to apply previous credits to your plan of study. You can study and take classes anywhere, at times that are convenient and flexible within the bounds of RIT's 11-week quarters and the expectations of your faculty. Distance learning courses have the same objectives, rigorous workload, and academic credit as on-campus courses. Distance learning courses require self-discipline and initiative.
Distance learning students typically take one or two courses each quarter.
If you have not attended college previously, you may wish to take a few courses at a local institution before beginning your distance learning program. Click here to view the worksheets. For more information about RIT Distance Learning programs, visit the Office of Distance Learning web site.
