Is Distance Learning Right For You?

Distance learning courses are not for everyone. They require a unique commitment from the student. Good time management skills, motivation, and self-discipline are essential for success in a DL environment. Distance learning courses are not easier or harder than on-campus courses, but they do require a special kind of dedication.

We strongly advise that you take stock of yourself and examine your learning preferences before taking a DL course to see if this mode of learning is right for you. Take our Successful Distance Learning Skills Survey to help you decide if distance learning suits your individual learning preferences.  There are also other self-assessment tools available to help you judge your readiness for learning at a distance.
