Students who sign up for an online class are expected to:

• Understand that online classes are reading and writing intensive and require basic computer skills.
  This means sending e-mails, posting messages, navigating websites and using computer software.
  
  
• Work well with weekly deadlines.
  Most instructors assign weekly activities or assessments to help you navigate your course work.
  
  
• Possess convenient access to a healthy computer that is connected to the Internet.
  (See our technical recommendations.)
  
  
• Dedicate six to nine hours per week to each course.
  Online classes require the same amount of time as traditional classes.
  
  
• Visit their online class during the FIRST week of classes.
  Finding the syllabus is the best way to start a successful semester.
