General Information: |
|
|
|
|

Internet students study textbooks and complete and submit assignments
online, following the Internet course outline. Guidance and
instructional support are provided through regular course participation
and email contact with instructors. Internet classes have
no scheduled sessions on campus although instructors reserve
the right to require test-taking in the on-campus testing centers.
Internet courses are designed to give students maximum flexibility;
however, students are expected to meet course, assignment, and
testing deadlines, which provide a framework to promote student
progress, and to maintain active participation in the course. |

Hybrid courses combine online learning
with face-to-face instruction. There are required, on-campus meetings. All
students registered in a Hybrid course MUST complete an orientation
session each semester/term. |

Students must meet specific academic and skill prerequisites
prior to registering for an Internet/Hybrid course. Such
prerequisites determine student preparedness and support student
potential for success in an Internet/Hybrid course. Student
preparedness includes demonstrated reading, written communication,
and technical skills. All Internet/Hybrid courses, regardless
of the curriculum, are reading intensive and writing intensive
(per word processing or email means), and require participants
to use a wide variety of computer and internet technology. |
