Guidelines for Regulations on Enrollment and Training for Remote and Self-Study College Degree Programs

Currently, distance learning and self-study with guidance are forms of non-concentrated vocational training wherein learners primarily self-study through various learning materials (textbooks, videotapes, multimedia applications on electronic devices, using audio-visual devices, radio, television, multimedia communication combinations, the Internet) under the organization and assistance of educators and schools. Distance learning and self-study with guidance can be applied for individual subjects, modules, credits, or entire training programs.
