How to Begin Your Course

Welcome to the Distance Learning Program

At Coastline College we are committed to helping students to be successful. As a result, we provide specialized support and services for the thousands of students completing their studies at a distance. If you have any questions or concerns related to Distance Learning, we have experienced staff available to help you. You may contact the Distance Learning Department by phone (714 241-6216) or email dlearning@coastline.edu. Our Distance Learning courses are very popular and often fill up quickly, so we suggest that you register as early as possible.

After you have registered for your course, do not wait for your instructor to contact you. You should access your course website on the first day of class and begin reading through the course syllabus, lessons, and other items in the Course Links section. In addition, purchase your books as soon as possible so you have all the required materials before the class begins. The links below will provide you with valuable information to begin working on your Distance Learning course and suggestions that will be helpful.
