Learning Services

Learning Services provides access to televised and web courses for students throughout the University’s six-county service area – Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, & Tuolumne and beyond.

Today's Students & Learning Services

Students have different needs than their parents when they were going to school. Many are older, married with children, and working 30 – 40 hours a week. By taking courses on television or on the web, students can save thousands of miles of driving each term – plus the time and expense connected with commuting. California State University, Stanislaus is the only four-year public institution in a six county area of 10,000 square miles, and serves over 1.25 million people. The area is rural and students often live and work far from the Turlock campus. Students appreciate the convenience of television and web courses not having to drive to the Turlock campus.

Educational Broadcast Courses

Instructional television courses are available at remote sites to regularly enrolled students in Merced at the Merced Tri-College Center on the Merced College Campus (3600 M Street.), in Sonora at the Office of the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Education (175 S. Fairview Lane.), and at the CSU Stanislaus Stockton Campus.

Television courses are identified as such in the Class Schedule

Web Courses

A number of courses are offered fully online, see Web Courses

, and students may choose to take the course at home. Blackboard and eCollege are web-based course management systems that support student and instructor interaction and collaboration through the posting and sharing of documents, external links to web resources, and threaded discussion boards along with other useful communication tools. Fully online courses are identified in the Class Schedule
