California College courses are designed with your busy schedule in mind, providing the flexibility you need to study at the times most convenient to you. That is one of the main advantages of the course, since you are not always required to abide by certain timings.
Students enrolled in California College courses have reported spending approximately 8 to 12 hours per week on readings and assignments for a 3-credit course. Plan to spend extra time when you have papers, projects, or exams. Graduate-level courses will likely require more time per week.
This answer varies for each student. There are many factors (e.g., transfer credits, course load per semester) that influence how long it will take. Depending on the program and efficiency of the student’s work, some students are able to complete 12 credits every year — others more than 20 credits. For instance, in a cohort-based program, you will be required to take a fixed number of credits each semester as you move through the program with other students, allowing you to consistently complete more credits than students who work at their own pace. You should choose a program that best fits your schedule and your life circumstances. For more information about this topic, contact an admissions counselor.
Your assignments are submitted electronically through your online classroom environment — just like you would turn them in to your professor on campus. Most exams are taken through an approved University proctor. Once you enroll, we will help you secure a proctor near you. It may even be possible to secure an online proctor in some courses.
We try to make our courses as easy as possible to access technically while still maintaining a quality online experience. You should also review any additional requirements that your program area may have.
Being an online student at California College is more than simply taking courses. Whether you’re located around the world or around the corner, you will have the opportunity to participate in some of California College’s most popular traditions, develop your leadership skills, and connect with fellow students outside the classroom.
