ONLINE COURSES

Courses Available via Online

It isn't necessary to come to campus to take college-level courses. You can now use your computer and Internet connection to earn college credits. Online courses allow you the flexibility to attend college while working full time, taking care of family, or other situations that make it difficult or impossible to come to campus. Online courses are the same as campus-based courses, with lectures, quizzes, tests, assignments, interactions with your fellow students and your instructor, classroom projects and activities. The difference is that you log on when your schedule permits. The credit you receive for successful completion of a course appears on your Del Mar College transcript just as any other course taken on campus.

For additional information on how distance learning can assist you with your educational goals, visit the Student Resources Web site, or call E-Learning Services at (361) 698-1312.
