Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office coordinates federal, state, institutional, and private financial assistance programs. Students who intend to request financial assistance are expected to arrange an appointment with a financial aid advisor as soon as registration has been completed. Financial Aid Advisors are available on a walk-in and on an appointment basis to provide individual counseling to students who apply for financial aid.

Selected courses in the General and Advanced Technology Education (GATE) Department are offered via Distance Education [online] thus allowing students the opportunity to take courses from home rather than having to commute to campus.

Students generally must have completed their chosen core program at Coleman College in order to enroll in Distance Education courses.

In addition to General Education courses, the DE Department also offers a complete online Master's Degree program in Business and Technology Management. This rigorous program of study is designed for the working professional interested in enhancing their skills and knowledge in the areas of business intelligence, strategic planning, e-marketing and technology management for the non-technical manager. The online Master's program is available to all eligible students worldwide.

The distance education program uses modern technology to enhance students learning experience and minimize its impact on their busy life. This is accomplished by using a computer and an Internet connection.

For most Coleman College classes, they will access instructional materials from Web pages. Interaction with faculty and other students in the class may take place through e-mail, message boards, chat rooms, or other means.

Students can work through class material, projects and assignments at a time that is convenient to them. However, instructors will impose deadlines for completion and there may be scheduled online class meetings when all students are expected to log-on simultaneously for discussion, exams, or other purposes.
