Oregon Community Colleges Distance Learning

Welcome to Oregon Community Colleges Distance Learning

For over two decades, Oregon community colleges have worked together to expand access to education for Oregonians through distance learning.

Today, courses are delivered using a variety of technologies including online, interactive television, videotape, and cable television. Many courses combine technologies to enhance the student’s learning experience.

Students may obtain their Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree by distance education; check with your local community college Advising/Counseling department for AAOT degree requirements. Other degrees and certificates are available also. Most credits will transfer to other community colleges and four-year institutions.

Oregon community colleges are on the quarter system and are accredited through the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and Universities.

Distance education classes are academically equivalent to on-campus classes. Most distance education classes are guided study; that is, they begin when the term begins, end when the term ends, and have due dates for assignments and exams. Some distance education classes require site-based lab activities and proctored exams.

Listings and information about distance education courses is available on the Oregon Community Colleges Distance Learning Web site at http://oregoncollegesonline.com . For additional information on individual courses, please contact the college offering that course or your local community college for information on how to enroll.
