Ways to Take Online Classes
WesternOnline offers two delivery methods for you to access online education: Term-Based and Self-Paced courses. Both options require internet access to receive course information using Canvas.
Term-Based online courses follow a quarterly schedule and have weekly interaction among instructors and other students. Much like a traditional face-to-face course, you will follow a designated schedule, completing the course during the quarter.
Self-Paced courses are available on your schedule and start anytime. These courses are designed for completion in 10-12 weeks, with a maximum completion time allowed of 6 months. You access self-paced courses through Canvas, but consistent interaction is not required.
Academically dismissed students wanting to take Western Online courses may be required to meet with an advisor in the Academic Advising & Student Achievement Center prior to courses being approved to register. Courses in the departments of Accounting, Finance and Marketing, Decision Science, Management, Management Information Systems (MIS) and Operations Management are not available to academically dismissed students.
