Online courses are taught with
communication taking place electronically via the Internet. Students enrolling
in online courses can conveniently complete coursework in the comfort of their
own home. The students submit course material online and maintain electronic
communications with the instructor of their course.
Once the student has
registered for an online course what does he/she need to know and do?
First, the student will need to complete the
Online Orientation.
Since technology equipment and computer skills are necessary
elements needed in an online course, the Technical Support section of the
Online Orientation includes a mandatory completion form that must be filled out,
signed, and forwarded to the Distance Learning Coordinator.
This form states that the student has completed the Technical Support
portion of the Online Orientation and understands each topic section.
Second, the student will need to
contact the instructor for information regarding course entry.
The student must contact the instructor prior to the first day of regular
scheduled classes.
Students can find instructor contact information on the
Faculty and Staff Support
page of the Distance Learning web site.
Please be
advised that some Internet courses will require proctoring of exams.
Notify the instructor of the course for this information.
