One of the keys to being a successful online student is self-discipline, you have to be motivated to get the work done on your own. If you have a family and/or a full-time job while you are taking our online class(es) it is important that you establish a schedule of when and how you will get your work done. If you don’t understand an assignment it is important to ask questions for clarification so you don’t fall behind. Instructors make themselves available to students via email, discussions boards, virtual office hours and conference calls.

Online courses are graded just like classroom courses. High-level critical thinking is required, and students leave the course with an understanding of the subject and an ability to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting. Standard assignments include reading the course text and additional materials, active participation in online discussions, quizzes or tests, writing papers etc.

The programs are not self-paced or independent study. However if you have missed the start date for a particular course you are still able to access all the course materials and have access to chat rooms alongside private communications and access to the teacher, however you will have missed the live virtual lesson, but that does not hinder you from getting all the information required to successfully complete the course
