COURSE DESCRIPTIONS OPEN LEARNING COURSE

200 | truopen.ca Consortium Distance Education University Consortium In 1984, the government of British Columbia established the University Consortium to increase access to university courses offered at a distance. The Open Learning Agency was selected to be the central administrative headquarters for the University Consortium.

Simon Fraser University (SFU), the University of Victoria (UVic) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) were original members.

The current arrangement allows students to register in TRU-OL distance courses delivered by UVic without having to be admitted to UVic. TRU-OL distance courses delivered by UVic appear on TRU-OL transcripts and are applicable toward the residency requirements for programs offered through TRU-OL.

Students may register through UBC Access Studies for distance courses delivered by UBC (see content starting on page 203) with special access privileges awarded to TRU-OL program students.

Royal Roads University (RRU) and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) are also members of the BC University Consortium. Their courses are not available for registration through TRU-OL. These institutions should be contacted directly for more information.

University of Victoria www.continuingstudies.uvic.ca Through its Division of Continuing Studies and the Faculty of Human and Social Development, the University of Victoria (UVic) has pioneered a number of different approaches to the delivery of distance programs to encourage student-to-student and student-to-instructor interactions. For information about UVic programs offered by distance, refer to the program website or contact the department by email or phone, as listed. Note: Students are advised that registration in TRU-OL courses delivered by UVic may not automatically be accepted for transfer credit to a specific UVic program of study.
