Correspondence courses still a thing?

I was asked today if I knew of anyone still doing postal mail correspondence courses, and honestly, I don't. I wondered if anyone here (maybe Dr. Bear?) had a suggestion? Also, if Dr. Bear is reading this, which of your books can I suggest they read to help them with this?

 

I believe that the University of London still uses that basic model.

Thanks Decimon, this looks like a winner!!!

 

A lasting effect of Katrina, I think.

Edit: Ya made me look.

All college credit courses offered by LSU Continuing Education are now delivered online through the Online Distance Learning (ODL) program. Most courses previously offered through Independent & Distance Learning (IDL) are now available in ODL, and many others are in development.

That should be the story. Unless there's another story.

 

Possibly three more: https://study.com/college_courses_by_mail.html

And several more: http://back2college.com/library/correspondence.htm

 

I think most people should avoid these unless very special circumstances make them necessary.
One important thing to keep in mind is correspondence courses do not qualify for financial aid.

 

I didn't know that!! I really don't know the back-story about why this person specifically wants paper vs computer, it may have something to do with their disability, they may not own a computer or know how to type, they may not subscribe to an internet service, or it may even be a misunderstanding about what online means- but I am VERY thankful for these links and I will pass them along. Thank you!

 

FYI anyone following- the back2college list is no good - too old /discontinued programs.

 

Ah, sorry. I just picked what I found.
