About Online Learning
Online Learning courses are the same courses and follow the same semester schedule as traditional face-to-face classes.
Courses are fully-accredited and transferable and qualify for financial aid. Your transcript will not differentiate an Online Learning course from a traditional one.
You can access your course from any computer connected to the Internet - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
