What will a live distance course be like?


Live distance education courses are available through satellite delivery (designated with day and time for regular class sessions) with the instructor teaching at USC Columbia in the studio classroom and the course being transmitted to other campuses in the USC system and to other viewing sites. Interaction among sites is by telephone talkback.

Attendance at USC Columbia sessions may be required. See UIS course listing for more specific information about course requirements.

It is imperative that you contact the viewing site coordinator before the first class meeting to confirm the availability of your preferred site AND then contact a Student Services Coordinator at 800-922-2577 or UTSQUEST@mailbox.sc.edu, when you know where you will view. Space at viewing sites is not guaranteed, but can be more adequately planned for if you notify us as soon as you enroll in the course.

About Schedule Codes and VIP Registration
asteriskThis course requires a six-digit schedule code for proper registration through VIP. You cannot register using only the department code and course number. Register using the schedule code for the site where you will meet for class.

The schedule code listed for USC Columbia is for those viewing in the studio only. If you are enrolling in the Columbia section, it is not necessary to contact Distance Education. If you view at a technical college or other site which is not listed, use the code for All Other Sites.

Close this window and scroll to the bottom of the course Web page to find schedule codes for your course. Schedule codes will be posted on the Web as they become available.

Refer to the course information page on the UIS Web site for a list of all courses offered through distance education.
