You can use your VA educational benefits for independent and distance learning online. However, if you’re using your VA educational benefits while taking only distance-learning courses (Asynchronous) at ELAC, the VA will only pay a housing allowance based on 50% of the national average.

When selecting your courses from the ELAC course catalog, you can tell which courses have undergone a conversion by looking at the listed class times:

• Courses listed with with specific meeting schedules (example: Wednesday 7:10PM-10:00PM) were converted to online and so will be certified as "In-Resident" units. LACCD classifies these courses as "Synchronous Online" courses.
• Courses listed with self-paced hours (example: 4HR 15Min/ WK TBA) were already intended to be online and so will be certified as "Online" or "Distance" units. LACCD classifies these courses as "Asynchronous Online" courses.
• Courses listed with specific meeting schedules (example: Wednesday 7:10PM-10:00PM) AND self-paced hours (example: 4HR 15Min/ WK TBA) are considered "Hybrid" courses and will be certified as as "In-Resident" units.
