Online Courses

Students may be required to take online courses in order to complete a degree. All new students will complete an orientation program prior to beginning classes.

Tuition and fees for online courses are assessed at the same rate as for residential courses unless otherwise indicated. Online instructors receive training and support while operating in the online environment. A list of computer hardware and software requirements for online courses is provided to students upon enrollment. Course technology and resources, including e-books and other resources required for online courses, are generally available within the online course. Additional resources required will be shipped directly to the student.
