Independent Learning

The University of Colorado Boulder Independent Learning program offers distance learning credit courses online and by print correspondence, through the United States Postal Service. Most of the courses are self-paced, which means you can enroll any time. Term-based courses follow the semester calendar with set drop/add dates and refund periods.

While our distance learning courses offer convenience and flexibility, you’ll also discover that they provide a rich and dynamic learning experience. You’ll have more time to reflect on discussion questions and assignments. And with self-paced courses, you can take final exams and finish projects when you have more time to focus.
