Hundreds of courses listed on our website can be taken by anyone 16 years of age or over, without a high school diploma.

  • Start with one or two first-year courses and see how you do.

  • Credits you earn can be transferred to degrees at other universities.

  • Or complete a university degree entirely through distance education.

If you are still in high school, you can take one or two distance or online courses and transfer them to an oncampus program in the future. See University Head Start.

Mature students with extensive workplace training and experience, you may be able to receive Credit for Workplace Learning.

Distance education is best suited for students who are motivated and self-disciplined. See Am I Ready for Distance Education?
