The mission of the distance learning program at Alamance Community College is to provide quality instruction through electronic technologies to enable students to attain their educational goals. The program allows a larger number of people in the community and beyond to attain their educational and enrichment goals through the reduction of barriers of time and place.

Courses provided via the Internet earn the same credit and maintain the same quality and standards as traditional classroom courses. Courses are designed and delivered to meet the regular course objectives.

The Continuing Education division of ACC offers more than 200 noncredit online courses each month. These six-week courses cover a wide range of professional and personal interests. They begin every month, they never cancel, and they're available any time of day and any day of the week. Travel time and distance are never an issue with our online courses. Topics include creating Web pages, software such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint, learning to use a palm pilot or digital camera, operating a home-based business, genealogy, writing, and many more.
