KCTCS Online: Learn By Term

Learn By Term Anywhere

What is Learn by Term?

Formally, Online Learning or Distance Learning, Learn by Term is our more traditional online offering. Learn by Term offers typical semester-long courses online. Learn by Term also provides complete online degree, certificate, and diploma programs, that are affordable.  While these offerings are primarily offered online, some require exams and lab activities which may require on-site visits at an approved location convenient for the student.

If attending classes on a regular basis during the day or evening is simply not possible with your busy schedule, we have the solution. Using Learn by Term, you can take classes virtually wherever you want.

How many courses are available?

Through our partnership with the Kentucky Virtual Campus, you can take more than 1,100 classes. Using our virtual library, online bookstore, and 24-hour help, you can finish an entire program from the comfort of your home or office.

How does Learn by Term work?

You attend courses through instruction on the Internet, on Kentucky Education Television (KET), or on Instructional Television (ITV). You simply need access to the appropriate technology. 

What kind of technology do I need?

A computer with Internet access and an e-mail account. You should know basic word processing, how to use e-mail, and how to attach documents. You will communicate with faculty and students by e-mail or in discussion groups. 

Is Learn by Term for me?
