Distance Learning NCPACE, sometimes referred to as "Technology Delivered" NCPACE, is provided by eight colleges and universities. Alphabetically, they are Central Texas College, Coastline Community College, Dallas Telecollege, ECPI College of Technology, Governors State University, Old Dominion University, Saint Leo University, Thomas Edison State College, University of Oklahoma and Vincennes University. Collectively, they offer over one hundred and twenty courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Several associate degrees and bachelor's degrees and two masters degrees are available through Distance Learning NCPACE. Degree Roadmaps are depicted for each institution's degrees in the catalog at this website.

Distance Learning NCPACE is delivered primarily using self-paced CD-ROM technology, since afloat conditions aboard deployed vessels preclude reliable and consistent Internet access. There are also a few courses offered by Old Dominion University that are delivered by synchronous video teleconferencing technology to some of the large ships possessing VTC technology and set-ups.

Distance Learning NCPACE is offered as an alternative to Instructor Led NCPACE for those Sailors who cannot attend regularly scheduled classroom format or those Sailors who desire the convenience of a self-paced study environment. First-time students taking college courses should consider taking a traditional instructor led class before attempting a distance learning course.
