Distance Learning, Student Resouces College@Home Course Orientations
Volunteer State Community College | Division of Academic Affairs
The links to online orientations on this page will provide you with a quick start for distance learning. After all, you are probably thinking about taking a distance learning course or another distance learning course because of your busy schedule. Distance learning courses offer more flexibility for a busy schedule.
Instructors teaching distance courses in the College@Home program have developed course orientation guides to getting started and succeeding in their course. Just as timelines and policies exist in on-campus courses, our College@Home program of distance learning courses have their own guidelines, policies, and schedules. You will want to familiarize yourself with these requirements in order to maximize your opportunity for success in your distance learning course. After you review the course orientation, you can begin working with your distance learning course content on the first day of classes.
After you review the course orientation, you are responsible for contacting your instructor via telephone or e-mail. The course orientations below will provide specific instructions about how to contact your instructor.
