Are you ready for online learning?
Successful online students have excellent time management skills and an ability to work independently. Plan on several hours of work per week per credit hour. For a three-credit course, you should set aside 9-12 hours per week. You should also plan to interact in your course several times during the week.
Advising for online students
If you are completing your degree at JCC, you should have applied to JCC and declared your major. If you have not done so already, you can apply online and be assigned an advisor.
If you are not sure which program is right for you, contact the Success Center at 716.338.1065.
If you are not working toward a degree at JCC but would like to take a course, you do not need to talk with an advisor, but you do need to meet any course prerequisites listed in the course description.
