About this school

  
 
Regis University  

Online learning can be quite different then learning in a traditional classroom setting. It requires the student to think differently about how he or she communicates with faculty, interacts with other students, complete assignments and tests, and most importantly, study. To be successful as an online student you should be able to answer “yes” to the following questions:

1. Do you possess strong time management skills?

Online classes are offered in an accelerated format. You will be responsible for completing weekly assignments and participating in online threaded discussions. Online classes are not self-paced. There are established timelines for submitting assignments and for class participation.

2. Do you possess strong organizational skills?

In most cases, there are no established times during the week that you will have to be online. You will be given the how and the what, but the when will be up to you. You may find that 6:00 AM or 11:00 PM is the most convenient time for you to be online. Your ability to effectively organize your time will be crucial to your success.

3. Are you self-motivated?

Due to the flexibility and convenience of online learning it is often easy to put off class work until the last minute. Self-motivation is key to staying current on assignments and completing class work in a timely manner. In an accelerated format it is very difficult to catch up once you have fallen behind.

4. Do you enjoy working independently?

While there are opportunities to work with other students, the majority of your work will be completed on your own. There is no face-to-face contact with faculty or other students. Online learning requires a greater than average self-discipline to be successful.

5. Are you comfortable working with technology?

All assignments, tests, and correspondence with faculty and other students are conducted 100% online. The ability to correspond via e-mail, send, receive, and view documents, participate in threaded discussions, and have access to a reliable Internet connection is mandatory. To view a sample online class please see our demonstration course.

6. Do you enjoy a challenge?

Online learning in an accelerated format requires most students to spend more time per week per class than they would typically spend in a traditional classroom setting. The very nature of learning online requires more in-depth study and interaction with faculty and other students than what is traditionally required. Students can expect to spend 10 to 20 hours of study time per week per class.
