• Register for your online courses at the Registrar's Office.
• Log in to your course to see assignments and reading material listed for each week.
• Participate in discussion boards and chat sessions with the professor and your classmates.
• Do the course work for each class (approximately 3 hours/week on average).
• Your professor monitors your work and participation each week and provides feedback.
• Take your final exam on campus. This is the only time you will have to be on-site.

The Distance Learning Department is constantly working toward enhancing and increasing course offerings. We hope that you've found this information useful and will consider taking an online course next semester.
