Short Courses

A Short Course is a short online learning experience that helps students experience the distance learning environment at their leisure, without the pressure of deadlines or forward motion in the program.

Although student progress is monitored by MTDA central office staff, there are no teacher services available in this format, and the courses are not offered for credit.

Upon completion of the course, MTDA staff will “exit” the student from the program, with a “P” designation on their grade report.
