De Anza Distance Learning - Prospective Students

Go to the DLC homepage for a list of courses and technologies and select the course you would like to enroll in.

Verify that you have the technology required and skills needed for the course you are interested in. Go to the Course Media page for TV broadcast information and refer to Student Resources for "Are Distance Learning Courses for You?"

Online courses require an Internet connection, high speed (cable or DSL) for some courses, an individual email address and basic computer skills.

Televised courses are available to Comcast cable television subscribers in the areas listed on our Course Media web page. For students outside of these areas, or for students who are not Comcast cable subscribers, many televised courses are available for rental from ACT Media. You may contact the Distance Learning Center for additional information.

Some courses require students to come to campus for meetings. Look for the "distance" icon on the DLC Class Schedule for classes that:
...do not require you to come to campus, or
...offer alternatives to on-campus proctored exams for students who do not live close to campus.
