Transfer students with college credit through nontraditional methods must submit official transcripts to the Office of Admissions and Records for evaluation. Telecommunications Courses Palo Alto College is pleased to offer distance education courses which help meet the unique needs of students whose busy lifestyles make scheduling college courses difficult. Instead of attending regular classes, students use a variety of instructional modes to take college courses. These instructional delivery systems include Internet courses, telecourses, and interactive video conference courses. The course content, college credit, and transferability of the distance education courses are equivalent to the same courses offered on campus.
Students have the same rights, privileges, and obligations as an on-campus student.
Distance Education courses may not be appropriate for everyone. Maturity and self-discipline are required because students must maintain steady progress throughout the semester. Students who are able may also be allowed to finish early. Veterans must contact the VA office before enrolling in any of these courses. Registration for Distance Education courses is the same as for all college credit courses.
