Admission
and Registration
are conducted no differently for distance
learning courses than they are for face-to-face
courses. The college does not have a separate
admissions policy for distance learning students
and there are no extra pre-requisites that
a student must meet in order to take a distance
learning course. |
Things To Know Before You Enroll
- Consider your strengths
as a learner.
For example, if
you struggle with math courses when taught
in a face-to-face manner, then it probably
would not be a good idea to start out in
distance learning by taking one.
- Consider which Distance
Learning modalities might work better for you.
For example, if you
feel you learn a great deal by being able
to discuss things and conduct research,
but you don't have the patience to watch
a video - an online course might work better
for you.
- Find out as much as
you can about the courses you are interested
in.
Distance Learning
instructors provide detailed information
about how their course will be conducted.
The information can be found on the Distance
Learning section of the BCCC website,
or by calling/emailing the Distance Learning
office (215-968-8052, learning@bucks.edu).
Important Things To Remember
There are no special pre-requisites
for distance learning courses. If a course does
have a pre-requisite, then it applies to face-to-face
as well as to distance learning.
There are no extra fees
or separate tuition involved for Distance Learning
courses.
A course may utilize special
materials (such as videos or software) that may
involve rental or purchase charges when a student
wishes to have the convenience of using/viewing
those items at home.
If you cannot meet or
fulfill any of the special requirements that a
Distance Learning course may have (on-campus meetings,
Internet access), do not register for the course
without first contacting the instructor and discussing
your situation.
Distance Learning classes
fill up early. Don't wait until the last minute
to register!
