Online Class Orientation Download

In an effort to make higher education accessible to all persons, Roanoke-Chowan Community College proudly offers distance learning courses--courses that can be taken at home using a computer or television, and generally allow the student to attend classes at any time and place they choose.

Distance learning courses include Internet-based courses (found on the College's Web site), telecourses (broadcast by the UNC Center for Public Television), college-by-cassette (taped telecourses provided for students), and teleweb courses (a combination of telecourses with Internet interaction), and North Carolina Information Highway courses (2-way audio/video interaction with an instructor at a remote location) offered in conjunction with Fayetteville Technical Community College.

To determine if you are a good candidate for distance learning courses, take the quiz, Is Distance Learning for Me? If, after taking and scoring the quiz, you are still not sure whether you are a good candidate, contact a counselor in Student Services at 252-862-1305 or sandrac@roanokechowan.edu.
