Are you ready to take an online course? Most students find that online courses are as challenging as on-campus courses. Online courses are not self-paced. Course assignments, quizzes and exams have deadlines. First, view the Guidelines and Tips for Successful Online Learning (requires Adobe reader). Next, take a short self evaluation to help you decide if online courses are right for you. Then, check to make sure you meet the minimum hardware and software requirements.
