Distance Education
Take a Class delivered via the Internet
The distance education courses listed originate from other community colleges within Oregon and through a cooperative agreement, are "hosted" by UCC. These classes generally appeal to motivated, self-starting students who do not require the more rigid structure of a traditional lecture class and who want the convenience of completing classes on their own time--without the requirement of attending classes on campus.
Distance Education: Right for Me?
Distance-learning students need to be self-directed and self-motivated in their approach to learning and possess
