Frequently Asked Questions

What is Distance Learning like at CalSouthern?
Distance Learning is learning that takes place away from the traditional classroom. It consists of communication between student and faculty that occurs electronically. When you become a student, you are authorized to access the student-to-instructor system that we use. This enables you to work with your Faculty Mentor and communicate with fellow students to complete your course requirements.

Do I have to attend classes?
Since CalSouthern is an online university, there are no class schedules. You can fit your coursework into your busy schedule by satisfying course requirements within the term of semester. You will work closely with your Faculty Mentor to assure that all work is completed, but you never have to attend a classroom on campus.

When can I start?
You can start at any time! Enrollment is continuous because we begin courses on the first day of every month. Simply submit your online application for admission. After processing, we will contact you regarding the status.
