Online Learning Guide

All coursework is completed online through a Learning Management System (LMS) called Canvas. However, students may be required to take one or two proctored exams in person, depending on the course. Upon the start of a semester, when a student logs in to Canvas, a dashboard showing each online course the student is enrolled in will be visible. Clicking on a course takes the student to a virtual classroom where the student can read class announcements, check for homework assignments, view the course syllabus, and communicate with the instructor and other students through a variety of tools such as Canvas Inbox or discussion boards. Between online classroom participation, reading assignments, research projects, homework, and presentations, the typical student will devote 4-8 hours per online course per week in a full-term 15-week course. This number will be doubled in a mini-term online course.
