Online Class Successful Study Suggestions
- Consider your time commitments: Before signing up for an online course, consider your time commitments. An online class takes as much time if not more as an on-campus class. Many online students write that they spend more time working on their online classes than they do their on-campus classes.
Participate actively:
- You must participate actively in the class. Your instructor may or may not contact you individually via email. You should email your instructor if you have questions or comments.
Log on to your online course at least twice a week during the Fall or Spring semesters, 3 to 4 times a week during Summer sessions:
- Most online instructors have due dates for assignments and tests. Many instructors will post weekly messages about due dates and assignments. If you don’t log on at least once a week, you may fall behind.
Don’t fall behind:
- Don’t procrastinate. It’s very easy to fall behind when you don’t have to physically attend a class. Once you fall behind, it’s very difficult to get back on track.
Ask for help when you need it:
- Don’t be shy. Although you won’t meet with your instructor, he or she will be available to answer questions and offer additional help via email. Email your instructor whenever you have a question or a problem.

Some Additional Suggestions:

- Email your instructor when you need help.
- Keep Connected! Make sure you have a good connection before you begin a quiz or upload an assignment
- Treat your online class as you would any other class!
