Shared Services Distance Learning (SSDL) courses allow Virginia Western students to earn credit while taking an online course taught by an instructor from another Virginia Community College, while using testing centers near them to complete any required proctored assignments. This allows Virginia Western students to take advantage of a variety of specialized courses that may not be offered on campus, or help students meet course requirements to complete a degree or certificate in a more timely manner.
