Distance Education and the Online Learning Centre
Distance education and online learning give you the flexibility to learn at your own pace without the restrictions of traditional schooling. Study where and when you choose. Our Online Learning Centre, which allows students to stay connected while learning at a distance, provides immediate test results, complete access to course materials, assignments, tests, and grades—and the opportunity to share knowledge with other students through an online forum. A toll-free help line and a Student Services team are available to assist students during the course of their studies. You can also interact with other students for support. Read, respond, and post messages via email or online forums. Share your discoveries with others, and learn from them.
