Welcome to Distance Education

Online Courses or On-Campus Courses?


Similarities to on-campus courses
  • As rigorous as on-campus classes
  • Not self-paced, and have weekly or daily deadlines
  • Start and end in the same academic term as on-campus courses
  • Rules and requirements for withdrawals and incompletes are the same as on-campus courses
  • Have quizzes, exams, projects, assignments, and require the purchase of a textbook(s)
  • Require "attendance." Students must access their online course as early as possible during the first week of the term and complete first week coursework. Completing coursework during the first week lets the instructor know the student is "attending" class. Failure to login and complete the first week's coursework will cause students to be automatically dropped from the course.
  • Course syllabi are just as important, if not more so, than on-campus courses

Differences from on-campus courses
  • Accessible anytime, 24/7, and anywhere you can connect to the internet
  • Require more self-discipline to successfully complete
  • Offer more interaction with coursemates and instructors through  discussion forum posting/replying
  • There is a $16.50 per credit fee for each Distance Education class.
