Each course has a specially designed Course Materials Packet you will need to buy as well. This packet contains your lessons and syllabus. Because you work through selected readings and assignments on the days and times you choose, you communicate with your instructor in any one or combination of ways. For those students who choose to navigate the web, the Internet courses utilize FirstClass, a conferencing software package that is provided by the College at no extra charge to you. Internet students send assignments online.
Most assignments are due weekly.
Some courses offer a more flexible schedule - requiring that you submit a certain number of assignments prior to the midterm and the balance prior to the final. If you live in the Phoenix area, there are 5 easy to reach locations where you can go to take your test. We hope you will enjoy our distance learning program - where a tradition of excellence joins with mobility to support the independent learner.
