The University of Colorado at Boulder Independent Learning program offers distance learning credit courses online and by print correspondence (through the mail). Most of the courses are self-paced, which means you can enroll any time and finish in less than a semester or take up to a year. Term-based courses follow the semester calendar with set drop/add dates and refund periods.

While these 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. With self-paced courses you can take final exams and finish projects when you have more time to focus.
