Distance Education Courses

Courses that do not have the required face-to-face contact time (for example, hybrid, online, or correspondence) must also meet the credit hour standard of three hours of work per week for 15 weeks. A distance education course meets this standard if the course covers the same material in the same depth as a face-to-face version of the same course. If no face-to-face version exists at Mitchell Tech, the course credit hour assignment is based on the total learning time the instructor developing or teaching a course would expect for a student to satisfactorily complete the work of the course.
