Online Learning Requirements & Quiz
Online courses require much more involvement and self-discipline on the part of the student than traditional courses. Learning online is an adventure that will expose you to some entirely new - and not always comfortable - experiences. The ability to be flexible and remain open minded is critical to having a positive experience as you move into uncharted territory. Take our "Are Online Courses for Me?" quiz to see if you are ready for online learning. 

Online learning is great for some, but it’s not for everyone. Here are some preliminary questions to ask yourself to see if you and online learning are a good match. 

Please answer each Yes/No question below. With every question you answer, an instant feedback box will pop up explaining how well your learning style, basic skills, and circumstances match the characteristics of a successful online student.
