Nothing is more frustrating than not getting simple questions answered. We have you covered from start to finish!

• If you have never taken an online class before, you probably have many questions! View our FAQs page to learn more about the online learning experience.
• Reach out to an admissions counselor to get answers to any remaining questions. They are a great resource for navigating the complexities of evaluating transfer credit, financial aid, and more.
