Correspondence courses are self-paced independent study courses that allow students to work at their own pace with instructor guidance; no formal classroom attendance is required. This independent study format allows students work with a textbook and course guide.

Correspondence courses are not only for the home learners today but can be taken by those who work 9 to 5. Many opt for correspondence courses because they allow the student to manage their time in a better fashion, thus allowing them to extract more out of each day in their lives.

Students who wish to apply credit earned through correspondence study to a college degree or a high school diploma should consult the resident institution before enrolling in a correspondence study course. Most institutions have limitations on the number and kinds of correspondence study credits they will accept.

Unlike full-year courses, semester-based courses may qualify for financial aid. Students who cannot remain in school due to a circumstance, e.g., illness, distance, or other reason, may request a school board to consider paying the registration fee and may request a school to consider providing course textbooks.

Distance learning using correspondence courses, can contribute to the homeschooling process, if the guardian or parent deems it necessary that the student needs formal, albeit non-traditional instruction, in areas where specific skills and knowledge are required.

It is advised that whenever signing up with a college for a correspondence course that you check their credentials and ensure they are an accredited educational institution.
