Single course provision is available in Stage 5 and Stage 6 courses to students who cannot study the course they want (other than a language) in their government or non-government school. We provide for the education of students who are unable to fulfil their educational requirements at their own school. Students need to meet specific guidelines to be eligible for distance education. Single course students can study one (or more) courses at Sydney Distance  Education High School while continuing to study the rest of their courses at their home school.

What are the benefits?
Studying by distance education enables students to:

• select courses of interest or necessity which are unavailable in the home school 
• fit their study into existing school timetables and work at their own pace in their own time
• have direct contact with teachers by email, phone and post
• be visited by teachers in their school where possible
• attend study days, seminars and excursions to provide contact with other students across the cohort 
• borrow excellent resources from an extensive library which includes books, videos, CD ROMs, music CDs, audio books and pamphlets.

Who can apply for single course provision?
Any student who cannot study the course they want in their government or non-government school can apply for single course provision. Approval is subject to the conditions described in the Distance Education Guidelines issued by NSW Department of Education and Training.

When can students apply?
Single course applications should be completed by the end of March for most categories of student. 
 
How do students apply?
Applications are made by the Principal of the home school. The Principal will determine if the student meets the guidelines for single course provision at Sydney Distance Education High School before sending the application.
