CD-Based Students: Access your course syllabus here!

CD-Based Courses
CD-Based courses are self-paced courses. The course consists of textbooks, a study guide, a syllabus and a CD containing professionally-produced video lessons. Each course has an assigned instructor. As a self-paced course, you will have access to your instructor via e-mail, phone and postal mail.

Please note that a $10 fee applies to CD-Based courses.

You must order your course materials following registration. Upon receiving your packet, you will be required to return a Course Contract (included in the course materials packet) or contact your instructor by e-mail verifying your enrollment in the class. If your instructor does not hear from you, you will be dropped from the class.

If you need assistance, and you are calling from out of the area, you can call toll-free 877.633.5958.

Course Materials
Upon registration for any CD-Based course, you can order your course packet from Follett online or by calling 877.369.5428. CDs are also available for checkout at the FCCJ campus libraries. Textbooks are available for purchase at the FCCJ campus bookstores.
