Print-Based
Print-based (correspondence) studies are a continuous intake, self-paced method of learning. You will receive a home study kit, assignment requirements (via Canada Post) and be assigned a tutor who will be responsible for marking and providing some assistance through telephone consultations. Students have a maximum time limit of six months to complete print-based (correspondence) courses, including writing the final exam.
Online

Algonquin College is pleased to be a member of OntarioLearn, which is a consortium of 22 Ontario Colleges that provide learning opportunities through the Internet. To take an online course, students must have access to a personal computer (Pentium PC with a Windows operating System or a comparable Macintosh computer) with a modem (56 K recommended) and an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most internet courses are offered at the beginning of each semester and are 14 weeks in duration, including writing the final exam. Refer to the Courses section of the web for start and end dates.
Prior to the start of classes, students will receive (via Canada Post) a letter with a "user ID" and a "password" as well as instructions to access courses. Technical support is available via a toll free help line. Basic computer and file management knowledge is required.Back to Top |
