Others may prefer to take classes at home due to limited access to transportation or a disability . Convenient access to college courses is another reason many students prefer distance education. There is no indication on the official transcript as to whether the courses were taken via distance education or on-campus. All distance education students, incoming and returning, must attend an orientation session for each course. During the orientation, students will meet the instructor and receive course and class schedule information.
Online students have an additional orientation using a computer.
Orientation dates and times are listed with each course. Textbooks Textbooks for distance education courses may differ from those required for on-campus sections of the same course. Textbook information will be provided at the orientation session. A student is encouraged to contact his or her instructor by phone, email, online chat, fax, or even through an on-campus visit.
