Distance Learning at UHCL

Distance Education (DE) is any instruction that takes place outside the UHCL campus classroom setting. University of Houston-Clear Lake offers students the opportunity to supplement their on-campus coursework or even complete entire certificates or graduate degree programs through Distance Education. Classes offered through DE are regular UHCL classes taught by UHCL faculty with the same pre-requisites and requirements as classes taken on campus. Classes are offered in a variety of formats that provide options for students.

Choose the most convenient format for your schedule: on campus, online, or a combination of classroom and Web-based learning.

Web-enhanced Classes at UHCL

With this format, classroom instruction is delivered and course requirements are fulfilled via a combination of face-to-face instruction at the UHCL campus and off-campus sites and online. In a web-enhanced class, an instructor can deliver all instruction online but require students to attend mandatory orientation, class presentations, and in-class examinations. The number of face-to-face meetings is determined by the instructor and can be found on the footnotes for the class on the UHCL class schedule. The Web-enhanced format is popular both on the UHCL campus and at the off-campus learning centers.

All our on-campus and off-campus programs offer many web-enhanced classes in which one to seven class sessions are held face-to-face. Both students and faculty welcome the flexibility and power of these blended classes, which provide the best of classroom and distance learning. We offer hundreds of web-enhanced classes--in every area of study. And the list is always growing.
