Our Distance Education courses offer flexible options to help you complete your program.
PLEASE NOTE
While you can still take Distance Education courses, Regent's regular courses will also be accessible online until April 2023 due to COVID-19. In the meantime, we are in the process of revitalizing our regular Distance Education offerings. Check back in Spring 2022 for updates on new courses and to discover the format in which Fall 2022 courses will be available.
See below for Distance Education courses available in Winter 2022 and Summer 2022.
TEMPORARY POLICY CHANGES
We recognize that many students will be dealing with the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic for some time, so policies that normally limit the use of distance education credits (i) to meet the Residence Requirement, (ii) to fulfil the requirements of each program, or (iii) to meet eligibility for Regent College financial aid have been suspended until April 2023.
How it works
Winter and Summer 2022 Distance Education (DE) courses have three components:
LECTURES: DE lectures are recorded on campus in a live classroom setting. DE students download the lectures and listen to them on their own time.
ONLINE INTERACTION: DE students and the DE course instructor interact online weekly in response to the week's lecture. You will need a computer with internet access in order to participate.
ASSIGNMENTS: DE assignments are similar to the assignments completed by students taking the same course on campus. Coursework typically includes assigned reading and written assignments like papers, exams, or reading responses.
Some courses require advance reading before the lectures begin, so we strongly recommend registering early and checking the syllabus a few weeks before the course begins. Courses must be completed within six months of the start date. Check the course syllabus for assignment deadlines.

for more information on how to complete a Distance Education course in this format.
As of Fall 2022, the format of DE courses is changing:
DE courses will be developed specifically for online learning. Through our Moodle platform and Zoom videoconferencing, you will learn from our highly qualified instructors through recordings and live interactions. You will only need a computer, reliable internet access, and the ability to participate in live online sessions.
DE courses will be completed within a 4-month timeframe, just like on-campus courses at Regent College. You can choose DE courses offered during the Fall term (Sept–Dec), Winter term (Jan–Apr), and Spring/Summer terms (May–Aug). Resources to complete course assignments can be easily accessed through our electronic library holdings.
In the 2022-23 academic year, DE courses will only be electives. Core foundational courses will be available through the hybrid format of our on-campus courses. The full listing of on-campus courses, all of which will be available online until April 2023, is on the Course Timetables page.
Like our regular courses, you can complete DE courses as credit towards a graduate degree or simply audited for personal enrichment. Students auditing courses are not required to complete assignments. For more information on the difference between credit and audit, visit our Choosing Courses page.

Credit Limits
Regent College places a high priority on face-to-face education. We make distance education courses available in order to provide some flexibility for our students; however, we do not permit students to complete a program through distance education.
In general, no more than one third of the total program credits can be taken by distance. For program-specific limits, visit our Graduate Programs pages.
In addition, students admitted to the College from Fall 2014 onward may take no more than six credits of the Foundational Core courses by distance education as part of their program.
Residents of the United States
IMPORTANT NOTE: Normally Regent College is not authorized to offer distance education courses to people in some states (please see the list below). However, during the COVID-19 emergency the restriction have been lifted for the academic year 2020-2021 (September 2020 to August 2021). Please contact DE office at [email protected] for more information.
Several American states impose legal barriers on distance education. Regent College has not been authorized to offer distance education courses to people in the following states:
