To accommodate the many students who are new to online learning, students are given access to Certificate courses prior to the first day of class. During this time, students are expected to complete an online orientation which allows them the opportunity to become familiar with the course Web site and menu options. Orientation also gives students a chance to get to know each other through the development of personal homepages and other introduction exercises.

Also, our Technical Support team provides online support 24 hours a day and live support during business hours (M - F, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Central Time).
