| Description: The ACCESS Distance Learning program began in October 2005. The program is supplemental, as the students attend their high schools and their high schools award the credit. We do not have full time students. The program is run by the Alabama Department of Education. We have three regional support centers that hire, train, and support the teachers. The geographic region for the program is the entire state of Alabama. The program is available to all public high school students and is free for these schools and students. Credit and non-credit course registrations totaled 18,955 from summer 2007 through spring 2008. The program does not focus on any particular type of student or courses but offers all ranges of courses. |
