Online Learning

Taking a self-directed, asynchronous online course provides you with the flexibility to learn off-campus on a schedule that suits you. You do not have to log in or do work at a specific time of day. Simply follow the timeline set by your facilitator in order to meet assigned due dates, and, if applicable, write your final exam during the scheduled exam period.

Our self-directed, asynchronous online courses are designed to engage students with their facilitators. You may communicate any time via the online course discussion board or email with your facilitator. You can also interact with your classmates through course discussion boards and group activities. In fact, many courses require you to participate in online discussions as part of your overall grade.

In addition to the traditional semester intakes (September, January, May) many of our self-directed online courses are available to start on a monthly intake basis. Choose the intake that best suits your schedule.
