    Good for you. Here's some tips to keep in mind while pursuing your degree online:

    1. Online is an "anytime, anywhere" education format, but it still has requirements that must be met. These include weekly assignments with deadlines.

    2. Some online programs substitute the classroom experience with online discussion boards and/or chat rooms. Be sure you remain active and participate, as this is often a part of your overall grade.

    3. Being a successful online student takes initiative on YOUR part. You don't have the luxury of having an instructor in a classroom looking over your shoulder and making sure you do your work. The responsibility is your's to ensure that you complete everything required.

    4. Pay close attention to the course syllabus. This is a general rule for college in general, but this will be your guide to successfully completing the course.

    Good luck. BTW, you wouldn't happen to be Haw1222 from other forums, would you?

    Congratulations.

    The biggest problem with online classes that I have found is procrastination, don't do it. You HAVE to be on top of the work. Like ROS said, just keep up with the requirements and everything will be ok.

    Thank you and I'm looking forward to it............I can't believe that I'm actually excited about "going" back to school. I'm definitely going to have to cut down on my time on here as well as my time watching Court TV. Thanks
    again!

    Congrats & good luck on your path to education.

    I am graduating this year with mine and it has been so much fun. I have learned alot. Online courses are harder than classroom courses but they are so much easier for tough schedules. I work 2 jobs, go to school, work out and spend time with my wife & kids. This is why online works so well!
