1. What types of online learning courses are there?

   An online learning course is either credit or noncredit, with a group start or an asynchronous start. An asynchronous-start online learning course is a course without a set start date, where students start at different times and work at their own pace. Courses can be credit/group-start, noncredit/group-start, credit/asynchronous-start or noncredit/asynchronous-start. If you are unsure as to which category your course falls into, please contact Program Support Services for clarification.
    

2. What are the technology requirements?

   The basic technology requirements are Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher, a modem speed of 56K (for dial-up connections) or a broadband connection (DSL or cable) preferred.

   In addition to the basic requirements, for some courses you may need PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or higher, Microsoft Office, Visio, Real Player, or Windows Media Player. Technical courses may require specialized software. If a course relies on software that is beyond the basic technology requirements, the software will be described in the course introduction. You can read the course introduction by selecting Courses from the menu on the left and then browsing to the course.
    

3. When does my course start?

   Most online learning courses start the day you register for the course and are not quarter specific. There are no late registration fees. Some courses, however, have group-start dates and/or require some classroom meetings. Group-start courses may have start and end dates that coincide with academic quarters. Be sure to review the Summary form for these dates. If a course is a group-start you may not be able to access the online course guide until the first day of the course.
    

4. How long is my course?

   A course length can range from three to six months. You will find your start and end dates listed on your Summary.  The courses are approximately 120 - 140 hours.
    

5. How many courses can I enroll in at one time?

   A full load is classified as six (6) one (1) credit courses.  If you need additional courses you will have to get approval from Advising.
    

6. How do I change my address?
