Additionally, such courses may also include handouts, supplemental readings, projects, research assignments, journals and e-mail discussions as components of this credited college course. The material covered in an individualized instruction course is equivalent to LCCC's on-campus courses. The quality and comprehensives of each course is thoroughly evaluated before being offered to students. The main difference between individualized instruction courses and traditionally taught courses is location and method of learning, not quality. Distance Learning students should be self-directed, independent learners.
Students read text material and instructor notes instead of regularly attending lectures on campus.
Admission and Registration Admissions, registration procedures and course or program prerequisites for individualized instruction courses are the same as for on-campus courses. Applicants submit an application for admission to the Admission's Office, meet the standard entrance requirements of the college, and must be formally admitted to the college to register for any credit courses. There is an optional orientation session held at the beginning of each semester. These orientations can be an on-campus session, a videotape, or written materials, depending on the course. If you are unable to attend the orientation session, your instructor will send the information to you.
