1. Know the formats
Asynchronous courses have weekly deadlines but no set meeting time; scheduled online courses meet live; hybrid courses combine online work with a few campus sessions. Programs list which they use.
2. Apply and enroll
The application and admission standards are the same as on-campus. Once admitted, you register in MyPorter like any student.
3. Use the remote support
Online students get advising, tutoring, library delivery, career coaching, accessibility services, and 24-hour technical support. Plan regular study blocks, test your technology early, and contact the instructor before you fall behind.

Common questions
Is an online degree the same degree?

Do I ever have to come to campus?
Fully online programs do not require it; hybrid programs schedule a small number of sessions or an intensive.
