Chipola College does not charge a distance learning fee.

The purpose of Chipola College Distance Learning is to provide accessible, affordable, quality educational opportunities through the use of technology. The college is committed to providing high quality course offerings to students who cannot regularly attend campus classes and complete coursework by traditional methods. However, students enrolled in these courses may be required to take exams on campus or use Honorlock online test monitoring. Students taking a Distance Learning class must meet the placement testing & admissions requirements of the college. All college policies and deadlines apply. Coursework should be completed during the term it begins. Students must register during the registration dates listed in the college calendar.

Beyond the classroom, Chipola's student clubs offer something for everyone. Develop leadership skills, explore career paths, make lifelong friends, and create unforgettable college memories. From professional networking to community service and social events, our diverse organizations help you build skills that employers value. Don't just attend Chipola – become an active part of our campus community!  For more information, visit https://www.chipola.edu/student-life/student-activities/
