As a distance student, you are likely to have many questions concerning academic expectations and requirement, or how to tackle an assignment. You may also have questions around balancing work, study, and family.  Student Learning offers the same support to distance students as to our on-campus students.

We can help you:

  • understand academic expectations
  • develop time management skills
  • understand referencing conventions
  • understand what the question is asking
  • learn the writing process
  • improve your writing.

We have a limited number of courses that you can study by distance. Some are taught online using Blackboard and some are only taught in one of the three trimesters.
