“Attendance” and Assignments
You will get the most out of your course if you participate fully. This means doing all of the assigned readings, assignments and tests, reading the lecture materials, watching videos and participating in all group discussion areas. A certain amount of flexibility is an element of the asynchronous design of these courses. There is no set time that you need to be online to take part in any of the scheduled activities; you can log on at 3:00am if that’s the best time for you. You will be given ample time to do all of the readings and assignments, but within each session of the course there will be certain deadlines that must be adhered to.
Degree Credits
Many colleges and universities do accept non-accredited distance education course work on a case-by-case basis. This decision is solely at the discretion of the undergraduate program to which you apply and inquiries should be directed to that
International Students
Proficiency in English is required for all online courses and tuition must be paid in U.S. funds.
