Likely, one of the reasons you are joining us for your online education is the flexibility inherent with the online campus. Maybe you’re working full time. Maybe you’re taking care of family. Maybe you just thought online would just suit you. Whatever your reason for joining us online, it’s important not to lose sight of the time and commitments needed to succeed.
In exchange for the flexibility, the responsibility for ‘scheduling class time’ sits with you, the student. A good rule of thumb from the Department of Education is that you should schedule 3 hours per week for study and ‘class time’ for every credit hour of a class. It’s important to spread this time throughout the week and look at your schedule as a whole when planning your course time and when to head to your digital “classroom”.
