Online classes are conducted entirely over the web. The main tools used for courses are a file sharing tool and a discussion board. These are such that students and professors needn't be online simultaneously. Computer requirements are minimal, but students are expected to have daily access to the Internet. Online classes take about 8-12 hours of work per week, in the form of readings, discussion questions, essays, quizzes, papers, exams, live chat sessions, etc.
Registration takes place online between four and one month before the start of the semester.
Additional Fees Online courses cost the same as courses in other formats. There are no additional fees specific to online courses. Online courses follow the standard academic calendar. Registration takes place online, generally between four months and one month before the semester begins. Registration for Fall 2001 begins May 14.
