In-Person or Online
If you learn best through real-time interaction with instructors, we have two options for you: in-person or synchronous (similar to a Zoom meeting) online courses.
Online, Anytime
With online asynchronous classes, you can learn at your own pace and on your own time. If you’re balancing work, family, or other commitments, these classes give you the flexibility to study when it works best for you.
Not Sure About Online Learning?
- Quest for Online Success is a self-paced online workshop that will set you up for success in your online classes by covering Canvas, Zoom, Office 365, tech-readiness, staying organized, time management, online communication, dispelling myths about taking online classes, and student resources. It will take about two hours, but you can go at your own pace. After you have completed it, you will earn a Quest for Online Success Certificate of Completion, which you can share with your professors if they request it.
