FAQs

What courses are offered?

Please schedule a meeting with your Faculty advisor to review course offerings as they will need to approve your request.

What is an Online Course?

This type, of course, is hosted through the online college on the BrightSpace platform and follows the 10-week online. Students should plan on setting aside twelve to fifteen hours a week to be successful. The courses will usually have several written assignments, quizzes, and tests, as well as discussion board participation with the instructor and classmates. Assignments will have specific due dates, but they can complete them at times that are convenient for them.

Students are not required to be logged on to the course at certain times of the day. The student will need to request this course in SharePoint with the Online Course Registration Request Form.

Why is it important to list more than one course choice?

On campus students are allowed 5 seats in each online course. However, for high-demand courses like the philosophy electives that is only 10 seats total so if the first choice isn’t available students have a better chance of securing an online class overall if they have more flexibility.

What is my out-of-pocket cost for an online Fall & Spring course?

An online fall/spring course can be included in student schedules, up to a maximum of 19 credits on-campus, for no additional tuition cost, however an Online Course fee maybe assessed to your student bill (currently $60). If students are over 19 credits, they are responsible for getting the Dean’s approval and paying on-campus credit overload fee per credit.

What is my out-of-pocket cost for an online Summer course? An online summer course is currently $390 per credit hour with most courses being 3 credits it comes to $1170 plus the online course fee of $60.
