Distance Learning is a Convenient Way to Obtain a
College Education
Not being able to make it into a classroom because of your hectic schedule
should not prevent you from obtaining a post-secondary education and
launching the career of your dreams. Increasingly, post-secondary institutions
are becoming aware that not all learners can make the time or have the money
to travel to learn on-campus. With this awareness, they are offering an array of
options that don't require students to physically attend any classes.
Distance Learning, as it is known, is actually quite an old concept. However, it
has been revitalized to ensure that students are getting the most out of it in
today's day and age. At Centennial College, this option is part of the School of
Continuing Education. The School's offerings are suited for anyone who has
either been away from schooling for any period of time; anyone who wants to
advance his or her career but isn't able to attend on-campus classes due to
scheduling conflicts or other responsibilities; those who wish to build on the
education and experience that they have already been achieved, either in
Canada or another country; or anyone who simply feels more comfortable
studying independently than in a classroom. With over 1,300 courses and
programs, Centennial College offers flexibility and choice.
Distance Learning at Centennial College is presented in two options. Both
allow students to obtain a respected credential but differ greatly. The one
aspect they do have in common is that students are required to attend an end-
of-program exam at one of Centennial College's four locations. Each student is
responsible to write his or her exam on the first Saturday following the course
end date. It is each student's responsibility to book the correct exam date
within the time constraints of his or her course. Students who fail to write their
exam by the due date will receive a zero on their exam.
