Online study
For online students 15-20 hours will be expected to be completed per week via the online learning management system, Blackboard and in assignment preparation and research. Online students are not expected to attend classes on campus, but they are able to book a phone call or communicate through telephone conversations, Teams or email. Students need fundamental skills in navigating an online environment.
You will need to have the basic technical requirements for at-home study. If you don’t have access to a computer and WiFi at home, we recommend using our library computers during library hours.
