About the Deaf Studies Online Degree Completion Program (ODCP)
Gallaudet University offers the Online Degree Completion Program (ODCP) for students who are at least 24 years old, who are un-able to be on campus full-time, and who seek an individualized study program. Students will register at Gallaudet University in the ODCP at odcp.gallaudet.edu. Students can earn college credits through coursework offered in a variety of settings: onsite courses at Gallaudet University (GU) campus, online courses owned by the university and taught by its faculty, online courses from the Online Consortium of Independent Colleges and Universities (OCICU)--of which Gallaudet is a participating institution, or hybrids -taking courses partly onsite and partly online. Students can also earn college credit for work or other experiences, which have led to the attainment of college level knowledge and skills, in the Life Experience Assessment Program (LEAP). For the online degree completion program, at least 30 credits of the total degree requirement must be or must have been earned from courses owned by GU and taught by its faculty. OCICU, transfer credit, and credit through the LEAP may not be applied to this 30-GU-credit minimum.
