Am I ready for online learning?

Online and hybrid courses can be an excellent choice for many students, but they aren't the best options for everyone. Before enrolling in one of these courses, you should ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I have good reading and writing skills?
  • Am I comfortable using a computer and the internet?
  • Am I able to spend 10-15 hours every week on each course?
  • Do I organize my time well?
  • Am I self-motivated, goal-oriented, and disciplined?

If you answered "yes" to most of these statements, online courses may be a good option for you.

What should I do if I am on the waitlist for an online course?

As vacancies occur in a class, the top name on the waitlist will move into the actual class. You are responsible for monitoring your waitlist status  and paying for the course if enrolled. If your name is on an active waitlist for an online course, you must obtain permission from the instructor to be admitted to the course. You may either submit a printed email from the instructor to Enrollment Services, or you may ask the instructor to contact Enrollment services directly to give permission for you to be moved from the waitlist.

For further info about registration and waitlists, see the Enrollment Services policies page or contact the Enrollment Services office at 425-388-9219.
