Tips for Managing Your Time and Getting Ahead

How much time should I plan on spending?

It is recommended that you login and participate in your online course at least three times per week.

You should expect to commit 3-6 hours per week per credit hour. This means for a three credit course you should expect to commit 9-18 hours per week. This time varies from student to student and course to course.

Make sure to allow enough time to read all content required for each module.

Please note: Allow more time if you are not comfortable with a computer.
