Online Course Information
General Information
Just like traditional on-campus courses, all online courses:
• Are taught by an instructor with whom you communicate on a
regular basis.
• Require textbooks, assignments, exams, etc.
Most courses also require you to log into Blackboard to read and
submit assignments, take quizzes, participate in discussions, and
more. You should expect to log in several times each week. You
must have email and Internet access before the course begins.
Many of the courses fulfill general education requirements; most
courses are also transferable (check with counseling) and qualify
for financial aid (check with financial aid).

meetings before registering.
