Is Online Learning for you?


Before registering for an online course, assess your own needs and learning style to see if Internet delivered courses are for you.

  1. Talk to other distance education students and faculty about their experiences with electronically delivered courses.
  2. Read through the information on our Distance Education site to find out about financial aid, registration information, technical support and requirements.
  3. If you are a new student or have been out of school for several years, we suggest you start out with only one or two classes. Be prepared to allow
    adequate time for registration, book ordering, and class work.
  4. Expect to spend as much or more time completing this class as you would for a traditional class (approximately twelve hours per week).
  5. Talk to the instructor if you have questions or concerns.
  6. Check out the course registration and cancellation dates and fees. Distance education is a major investment in both time and money; make a wise investment.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
