Students taking online classes for the first time should have a cumulative average
of at least a 2.5.
First time distance learning students should also complete online orientation/trainingbefore they begin their courses.
Students must register for online courses before the start of classes. Should a student wish to add an
online course after the start of classes, he or she must have a signed distance learning
late add form, which requires the signature of the instructor, the academic dean,
and a student success manager. (The form should be available online, and a student should be able to explain his or her case through the form and/or
attain the required permissions over the phone or through e-mail.)
Because of the intensive nature of fully online courses, students should acknowledge
that they have access to a computer approximately 10 to 15 hours a week in a 15 week
course, 20 to 30 in a seven week course and 40 to 60 in a Winter*net course.
