The first week is a general orientation and involves navigating the classroom system, giving basic guidelines about postings and communication. Our online courses are taught by the many of the same instructors who teach in our regular classrooms. Classes offered for credit are considered as standard course work that comply all University academic guidelines and policies. NSOU Technical Information Access to a computer, an Internet connection and additional software listed with the course description is necessary. Participation in courses requires a user ID and password, which we send after registration.
Students are responsible for obtaining and maintaining Internet connections.
Short exercises are available during the first week of classes to familiarize students with the system.
