How much time should I expect to spend a week?
When taking an online course, you should expect to apply 7 - 10 hours of your time a week, but depending on what pace you work at it could be less. Online courses are also self-paced: you do not need to go online at certain times, only on your own time.
How does the online course system work?
Online courses are powered by "Desire2Learn" or D2L. A D2L course site allows "anytime, anywhere" access to syllabi, readings, multi-media files, electronic drop boxes, online quizzes, email, grading, student progress reports, project files, and more.
Is my browser compatible with D2L?

Do I ever have to go on campus with an online course?
Unless your course specifies on-site time, you do not have any on-campus requirements.
