Once your tuition and fees are paid, you will receive a log on and password and a written orientation to WebCT use. (WebCT is our online educational interface.) This will be sent to you via email, and you will be able to go online and try things out a few days before the quarter begins. Technical assistance will be available.
There are weekly assignments and deadlines, so you must keep pace with the class. However, there are no “real-time” components to the course, so you can complete the learning activities and assignments whenever it is convenient for you within the constraints of the due dates.
There is a general discussion board for students to engage in discussion with one another as desired beyond the required question board and an internal email system you will use to contact the instructor or SMS staff (or fellow students) if needed.
