The telecourses are available on several local channels and in the McWherter Learning Resources Center. Telecourse tapes may also be rented. In addition, students read their texts and study guides and submit assignments as scheduled.
Teachers are available at set times for consultation.

Only students with strong experience on the Internet should register for an online course. Students are required to have access to a computer and the Internet.
