Ways to Succeed as an Online Learner

  1. Have a dedicated study space. Create an environment that allows you to focus on your studies.
  2. Communicate with your support team. Reach out to your advisor and professors, as well as your peers, regularly. 
  3. Schedule study time. Even though your class schedule is flexible with online learning, it pays to set aside time to dedicate solely to your studies. 
  4. Manage your personal life. Manage all aspects of your schedule from work to family life to ensure that all of your commitments are aligned to help you meet your goals.
