Has anyone enrolled in online courses at TCC recently and had to complete the Distant Learning assessment?

I took 5 or 6 DL classes. I didn't have to take an DL assessment, but I did take one at the campus. I'm pretty sure it's required for placement in certain subjects, especially math. They don't want students in Trig who can't even do basic math. BTW, I would strongly suggest taking any math courses on campus. DL classes are great for blow off classes like English, Government, your fine arts requirement, etc., but not for difficult classes like math, sciences, etc.

Hahahahaha...I met a hedge fund manager a few months ago and really wished I would have taken his path. For such a young person...he balled beyond DFWMs wildest dreams.

I am just frusterated with these people. From the very beginning they haven't been much help. I applied and never heard back, then called and had no clue. I had to drive there for them to ask a few questions and inform me when I can take my tests.

Now with this distant learning crap I have to take this test but have no user name and password in the mounds of documentation they gave me. I have to call "the person" who directed me here.

I was just hoping someone had to do it recently so I wouldn't have to wait to call on Monday.....

I took one class online, but I had already taken my "accuplacer" test and a lot of face-to-face classes. I can imagine it's a lot more hassle to go in cold to online classes.
As for absolutely anything dealing with registration/administration/placement for classes, in-person is the only way to handle things. Trying to communicate via phone or email will get you nowhere.
