Center for Independent Learning Home C.O.D. Online Web Site	Student Support Services for Distance Learning Students College of DuPage is committed to providing comprehensive support services for our students who are enrolled in courses delivered through the Centers for Independent Learning. The Centers are charged with the mission of using technology as a means of providing access to the college for individuals who may be constrained by time or place, and to support faculty in the use of technology to enhance the learning experience of students.  Recognizing that our distance learners are not on campus on a regularly scheduled basis, the college has provided a convenient and accessible on demand web source of information.  This website is specifically organized to be responsive to the unique information and advising needs of our students who are learning at a distance.
