Online Self-Paced Courses

Our online/self-paced classes will use Walsh University’s fantastic and straightforward online environment. These classes are entirely self-paced - with no live sessions.  But to give you the best of both worlds - we also have a dedicated instructor/monitor - who is often the author of the course, that is available for assignment and concept help when you need it.  Of course, it won't be immediate response, but it will be timely, and something that you won't find with other online providers.  Past participants have given fantastic feedback and report that the month seems plenty of time to complete the online expectations. Pre-register as you would with ANY of our classes, & as the start date approaches, we will guide you to your course’s online login and final payment.   

All courses are 3 semester hours.

A student will not receive new credit if they previously took the "in-person" version of any of these courses.

You may finish the course in any time frame within the window, but grades will not be submitted to Walsh until the end of the window.

Online Live/Remote Courses/Not-Self-Paced

These courses use GOOGLE MEET on the specific dates noted.  You will have a live instructor, and you should be prepared

to give your attention during each day listed in order to earn credit.  However, you won't be listening to someone talk and talk all day each day.  Instead, we have created a sequence where the live instructor: *presents material, shares external resources/sites/apps, assigns independent tasks, asks for written responses, and goes "live" again to review learning.  This general design will be repeated with each new phase of the course, at probably 3 to 5 phases per day.  Breaks will occur as needed, and for lunch each day.  Pre-register as you would with ANY of our classes, & as the start date approaches, we will guide you to your course’s online particulars and final payment.   

All courses are 3 semester hours.

A student will not receive new credit if they previously took the "in-person" version of any of these courses.​
