Online Class Information

Continuing Education and Professional Development offers a great alternative to traditional classes held here on campus. You can update your skills, discover a new talent or chart a career path at your own pace and convenience—we bring the classroom right to you, wherever you may be.

How do online classes work?

Each class consists of 12 lessons that are made available to you over a specific 6 week period. The first lesson is released after 4 AM on the first Wednesday of class; subsequent lessons are released on Fridays and Wednesdays. You do not need to be present when the lesson is released, but you must complete each lesson within 2 weeks of its release. The lessons are supplemented by interactive quizzes, assignments, tutorials, and online discussion areas available via the Web.
