Welcome
Volunteer State Distance Learning offers a convenient and flexible class schedule through the College@Home program. CD-ROM, Video, and Online Courses are offered throughout the year to provide opportunities to study when it's convenient and at your own pace.
About Distance Learning
Volunteer State's Distance Learning program offers non-traditional instructional delivery to assist students who are prevented from attending traditional classes by work, family or other commitments and responsibilities or who prefer learning via technology.
Most general education core and selected major courses may be completed through
Videotape Telecourses, Online courses and CD-ROM courses. Students can complete most degree requirements by combining distance learning, weekend, and traditional courses while maintaining work schedules and family responsibilities.
Distance Learning activities include "College @ Home":
Videotape Telecourses
CD-ROM courses
Online courses
Regents Online Degree Courses, and
Interactive Television Classes between the main campus and other sites
