“This summer I enrolled in Bible Study Methods. My experience online has been exceptional. There are opportunities for in-class interactions with other students, links to access the video classes at any time, and the opportunity to ask the professor questions throughout the class. Additionally, the professor is available for questions and additional help outside of the class hours and answers emails very quickly. The quality of the course is excellent, interesting, and creative. The faculty is friendly, efficient, and I feel really well connected. I have had such an amazing experience and I am registering for another course!”
Autumne, Student“I am so thankful for the forward thinking of Horizon College and their investment in technology. Not only does this allow students from anywhere to engage in distance learning, but during our current global situation, my education has transferred to an online format seamlessly. Instead of my classes being canceled, I’ve been able to continue to attend lectures, participate in classroom discussion, and engage in community. What a blessing!”

How to Apply
Students MUST fill out a Distance Education (DE) request form to register for any courses offered online, by directed study, or by live stream. Students wishing to take a module course should email the Associate Registrar (registrar@horizon.edu) to register. Without this form, we cannot process the request or registration.
DE Request Form
Tuition & Fees
Tuition for DE courses is at the posted per credit hour rate for the current academic year.
Live-Stream Courses
Live-Streamed courses allow out of town or out of province students to attend a live course taking place on Horizon’s campus in Saskatoon through a video-conferencing service called Zoom. Students attend the class via live streaming at the same time as on-campus students and interact with their professor and classmates in real time. Your course readings, activities, and essay writing happen as they would in a traditional course format. Out of town/province students can request to live stream into any Horizon course taking place on-campus. Live-Streamed courses follow our on-campus course syllabi and course schedule.
In order to use the Zoom software, adequate high-speed internet is required. Zoom can be accessed and installed on Mac, PC, Android phone/tablet, iPhone/iPad.
NOTE: The deadline to register for live-stream courses is three weeks prior to the start of the course.
*High speed internet REQUIRED
Video on Demand Courses
If you are not able to join a class online during the day via live-stream, later in the day or even later in the week you could watch the class on Horizon’s Media Centre through Video on Demand (VOD). In comparison to Online courses, VOD courses allow you to interact with the class and professor that you are watching on video, because you are following the same general schedule as the on-campus course. Our course schedules indicate those courses that are accessible by VOD.
NOTE: The deadline to register for VOD courses is three weeks prior to the start of the course.
*High speed internet REQUIRED
Online Courses
Online courses involve interacting with a professor and a group of students through video-based learning content and online discussions forums. You can view lectures whenever its convenient for you and participate in discussions as you work to complete course readings, activities and written assignments typical of traditional course formats. You don’t have set times to view lectures or “attend class,” although you do have deadlines for assignments and requirements to interact with other online students in the course.
These courses are offered on an as-requested basis and are offered in three semesters:
Fall (September – December)
Winter (January – April)
Summer (May – August)
*High speed internet REQUIRED
