This will vary from class to class. We recommend you log in to your course everyday. Most of the course work can be done offline. You will need to be online to retrieve messages, send messages, take tests, and do research.

This varies from course to course, some of our programs or courses are online but require being online for live virtual classroom sessions. Many of our online courses will have a schedule with due dates, but no specific times you need to be online so you have the flexibility of working on your coursework – 24 hours a day – when it is convenient for you.

Online courses are available on a semester basis and typically follow the same schedule as our face-to-face courses. Courses begin the first day of the semester and end the last day of the semester just like the classes taught on campus. However, some instructors will have their courses open six days prior to the beginning of the semester. If your course is open early, take advantage of this opportunity and check out your course. However, the instructor will not begin teaching until the first day of the semester and may not respond to emails within the course until that time.
