I met a fellow at a Google I/O event who was working for a very large, well-known company here in Canada who was living in Ontario working for the company full time while he completed his CS degree at UBC. He would just fetch the coursework, complete it, and never attend a class until there were finals then he would fly out and complete them before returning to work. Attendance can even be an inhibitor as his employer hired him knowing his situation and because he was going to graduate with a degree. Granted this guy was clearly very smart so I can imagine why they accepted those conditions.
