Are you ready to take an online class?

Online classes provide a great deal of flexibility; however, they are not for everyone. To succeed, you have to be self-motivated, possess good study skills, and be an independent learner. Online classes are as challenging as on-campus courses. Online classes are not self-paced. Course assignments, quizzes, and exams have deadlines. Some courses have an on-campus component.

Tips for Success!

As many students are transitioning to a remote learning environment, The Learning Assistance Department and the Office of Online Learning and Educational Technology are here to help. Read about succeeding as a remote or online learner.
