The article is devoted to the problem of distance learning in higher education. Distance learning is a very important component of the education system and has many advantages. These include: modularity, variability, development of independence and critical thinking, strong-willed personal qualities, as well as digital literacy. In addition, this form of education provides great opportunities for part-time students. Among the disadvantages of distance learning, there is a psychological discomfort that affects the effectiveness of training and satisfaction with its results. Its leveling is an important task for psychologists and other specialists who organise the process of distance learning. The article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying problems that arise in part-time students in the process of distance learning, conducted in Borisoglebsk branch of Voronezh State University. Using a specially designed questionnaire, 71 part-time students were interviewed. The subjects were found to have both technical and psychological difficulties. Among the latter, problems associated with the lack of "live communication", visual direct contact with teachers and other students are particularly common. The result of the study was the development of a number of psychological recommendations for optimising distance learning, which will increase its effectiveness and reduce the students' discomfort.
