CDL offers more than 60 college credit courses, including courses in business, computer science, economics, English, foreign language, geography, history, humanities, philosophy, political science, psychology, science, and sociology. Distance learning courses have the same prerequisites, as well as the same academic requirements and transferability as traditional college credit courses. A student who completes a CDL course receives credit equivalent to the same course taught in the traditional classroom format. Students view weekly television or video programs, read required textbooks, submit homework assignments and take exams.
Students communicate with their instructor via phone, mail, and e-mail.
See the WWW Courses page elsewhere in this schedule for further information on WWW courses. Students complete all required course work on NovaNET, but may need to visit campus to take a final exam. Tuition is paid to and grades and transcripts are issued by, the campus where registration took place. Upon registration, students obtain a course packet a requirement for successful completion of the course. Students obtain their course packets during Open Registration from the campus at which they registered.
