It is our intention to provide as many student services to distance learners as possible. In doing so, we strive to minimize the inconvenience of visiting campus for those students who choose to study off campus exclusively. What follows is a list of student services you can expect to access away from campus as a student enrolled in distance learning classes:

1. Student Welcome (Orientation). The Student Welcome is available on local cable television or by requesting a DVD, streaming video, or podcast from the Vice President for Student Services.
2. The Student Handbook is available on the College web page at www.abtech.edu.
3. Application. Application to the College may be made at the College web page.
4. Transcript Evaluation. Transcripts from colleges previously attended may be faxed to A-B Tech by the originating college and can be evaluated for transfer credit upon receipt.
