Distance Learning Student Guide

Online Course Considerations  


Online students receive a detailed course syllabus, study guides, textbooks and written assignments to guide them through the courses. The course instructor evaluates assignments, and may confer with the student by telephone, e-mail, or in person.
Is online learning right for you?  It may be if you . . . 

  • are self-directed and goal oriented
  • learn independently
  • have the appropriate computer skills and equipment
  • are able to set aside a specific time for study, and stick to a learning/studying schedule
  • are able to begin course activities within the first week of classes
  • are willing to contact your instructor with questions about the course 
  • are willing to contact the Distance Education office with questions about the technology
  • have confidence in your abilities and committed to your education
