The difference between the three:
1, Adult Higher Education Entrance Examination (Adult College Entrance Examination) is a national unified entrance examination, that is, a national unified examination. The provincial admissions office sets a minimum admission score, and the school selects the best candidates according to the test results (that is, it may not be able to enroll on this line). The national unified examination is held once a year, and the examination is held in June every year, and students are registered in March of the following year. The graduation certification time is three years from March of the following year when students register. However, due to different enrollment levels, majors and learning styles, the short study time takes 2.5 years and the long one takes 5-6 years. Adult colleges can be divided into night colleges, correspondence colleges, independent adult colleges, radio and television universities, management cadre colleges, education colleges and so on. In recent years, private colleges and independent secondary colleges have been added.
2. There is no entrance examination for the self-taught examination, but each course (about 18) is organized by the self-taught examination committee, and graduation certification can only be granted after all subjects pass the examination. There are two exams every year, and candidates choose exam subjects according to the situation. Social self-taught candidates do not register during their studies. Online education is put forward by the enrollment colleges independently, and the local learning center organizes the examination and does not participate in the national unified examination. The registration time is March or September of the year of registration. Self-study placement credits are accumulated, and all courses pass the national unified examination and obtain graduation certificates. The exam is valid for 8 years. Self-taught exams are mainly conducted in colleges and universities, and examiner schools or social adult education and training institutions provide self-taught training.
3. Online education is a flexible academic system. Students can graduate smoothly in 2.5 years as long as they finish their homework and final exams on time. Moreover, the graduation certification time of online education is six months to one year earlier than that of adult college entrance examination, which can solve the needs of on-the-job personnel to improve their academic qualifications as soon as possible. The universities that carry out online education are national key universities approved by the Ministry of Education, and the state has high requirements for the admission qualifications of online education universities. At present, only 68 universities in China have the qualification of online education, all of which are key universities directly under the Ministry of Education and leading key universities in a certain field. Online education is the concentration of famous schools in China, and the majors offered by online colleges of many universities are the key majors of the school.
