American Pre-Academic and Professional ESL Program
Important Notice About Registration
For Fall You must register in person. See instructions below for new or returning students.
This fall we will have in-person classes on the Rockville Campus (R) and on the Takoma Park Campus (TP/SS). We will also have classes taught remotely through Zoom, Blackboard and other online tools. We offer two types of online classes.
- Structured Remote (SR)--will meet online only at scheduled dates and times. You will use Zoom, Blackboard, and other online tools.
- Distance Learning (DL)--are online classes for students who need a flexible schedule. You can work at home at your own pace. Each week the instructor will let you know which lessons to work on in Blackboard, a learning management system. You will access videos, instructional materials and discussion forums. There will also be optional opportunities to meet with instructors and classmates over Zoom during the course of the semester.
