Online Learning
Courses offered via the Internet allow you to experience
studying as part of a group of learners, while at the same
time being able to work independently. You will be able to
communicate and sometimes work with others, within a
structured, paced environment, while engaging in a variety
of active learning strategies.
A general rule of thumb is that you should expect to spend
an average of 10 hours a week on each course taken. There
is, however, some variation in the nature of assignments and
instructor requirements. Completion of distance courses
requires strong, individual study habits. The most successful
distance learners establish a study routine and schedule early

the same assignments and examinations as those in degree
programs. As a learner in the Open Learning program, you
will have the same workload as a degree program student,
and you will be evaluated using the same standards. Upon
successful completion of a course, you will receive the same
credit weight as someone in a degree program.
Number of Courses
The Open Learning program is a part-time program. Students
may take a maximum of three courses per semester,
depending on your academic experience. If you are currently
working and/or balancing other commitments, you need to
consider this when considering the number of courses to take.
Maximum Flexibility to Meet your
Learning Needs
