Our Distance Learning (DL) program classes use Section 60-69 to indicate courses that are entirely Web-based, and Section 70-79 to indicate courses that have a small face-to-face component along with the web-based portion, such as an Intensive. In Spring 2006, the DL programs will use Caucus; information on how to access Caucus is listed on the Pathway Student Portal page at http://pathway.ciis.edu/. Once registered for a Caucus course you will receive your login automatically by email, or you may email online@ciis.edu or call Lael O'Leary at 415-575-6127 for login information.

Please see the Online Programs page regarding Pathway, the Pathway Learning Management system, and other important information such as computer requirements, user guides, etc.
