Hey Lilybear,
So you're thinking about distance education eh? Well, I hope I can be helpful 
I personally really like it, I enjoyed my first year at University (real classes) but with my health problems and the fact that I work full-time, I was hardly ever actually attending class anyways.
The biggest thing about distance edcuation is that you really have to be self-motivated, because they don't set the exams and tests dates for you, so you have to be willing to push yourself to get it done.
Some of the things I like about Athabasca are it's flexibility, courses start on the 1st day of every month, and you have up to 12 months to finish a course, but you can finish earlier if you want. When you're ready to write the exam you just have to give them notice and arrange for a place to write it (they have a huge list of places you can go where they have proctors) and then you're all set!
Plus, they have excellent tutors and education advisors, it really isn't that much different then "regular" school except that you don't go to class! So if you're someone who really needs live instruction it might be hard, but if you're a self-learner, it's pretty cool!
If you need any more info let me know, I'd be happy to help!

Hi Lilybear,
I'm also taking distance education courses at the moment. I'm doing mine through the University of Waterloo (near where Vicam lives in Ontario). Unlike Athabasca it's primarily a fulltime University and they've got distance ed courses as well. These courses have a set time limit and a set exam date (mine's this weekend). I chose Waterloo instead of Athabasca cause I'm actualy hoping to go to school full time for a year or two and I figured it'd be easier to transfer my credits this way.
Having courses with set time limits are good because it gives some outside help to not put off studying and get the assignment done. However in your case, to just finish up your degree, Athabasca may be a good choice.
Hope this helps

what do you do for a living?
I fly pop and chips and passengers into remote Northern Communities (I guess that makes me a pilot)
how old are you? 24
where did you go to school? Seneca College in Toronto, currently taking distance Ed courses through UNiversity of Waterloo

what do you like to do on your down time? sleep, play hockey (goalie ), bike, rollerblade, play my Bass guitar (ok, make noise would be more precise:) )
what makes you tick? not really sure at the moment, I'm kinda going through one of those intraspective periods where you examine everything that's important in your life and then end up being more confused about things than you were to begin with. Although I like my kitten, she's a cutie
