Telecourse and Cablecast
Courses |
Purchase the Student
Handbook and course text materials selected for your Distance
Learning course(s) at the Coastline Bookstore or online at www.coastlinebookstore.com.
Instructions needed to complete the course are in the Student
Handbook. Student Handbooks are available for Telecourse
and Cablecast courses online at the course
websites (be sure you access the correct course website as
some classes are available in more than one format and the material

Once you have the Student Handbook, start familiarizing yourself with
it. Student Handbooks contain all reading and course assignments,
instructor office hours and telephone number, PLUS at-home quizzes.
The midterm and final examination dates are posted in the course
assignment sheets. Read the "FAQ's", "What You Should Be Doing At This
Time", "Welcome Letter From the Instructor", and "Course Overview"
right away. Submit the Proctor Form (if not a local student) and
Letter of Agreement as soon as possible.
Review broadcast dates and times. If your course has multiple viewing
dates, choose the channel you receive. Most students set their VCR to
tape their Telecourse or Cablecast lessons for viewing at a convenient
time. If you are not a local student, and don't have access to the
telecourse braodcasts in your area, or via sattellite, then you need
to order the course
videos as soon as possible to ensure their arrival before the
beginning of the class.
You may need to purchase Scantron forms (available at the bookstore
or online at www.coastlinebookstore.com)
for quizzes. Check the Student Handbook for details. Students
are required to provide their own envelopes to mail quizzes and
assignments to their instructors. You may also take quizzes online
(see the course website).
Visit the course website
regularly for any errata, changes, notices, or additional information.
For questions about course content, grades or expectations, please
contact your instructor. Contact the
Distance Learning Dept. for general questions. Several options are
available for technical help.
