Ten Rules for Success in an Online College

By: Daniel Kane

Do not be in too much of a rush to get started. Take as much time as you need to thoroughly investigate at least four or five online colleges and find one you feel enthusiastic about.

Don't rule out an online university just because its name is not familiar. Some very well known colleges and universities offer online degrees, but there are also some excellent online degree programs at colleges which are not yet household names.

Put together a list of at least five questions to ask the admissions personnel at the colleges you are considering. Compare their answers.

If an admissions representative calls you, ask the questions you have prepared, and listen carefully to what he or she has to say. Get all the facts.

Remember that affordability is not simply a matter of tuition. How many credits a college is willing to grant for prior learning, the amount of financial aid it can offer, and the existence of tuition installment plans are all factors to be considered.

Don't trust your memory. Take notes whenever you speak with an admissions representative on the phone or in person. And, also take notes when reading college brochures.

Be certain you are committed to earning a degree before enrolling anywhere. Good basic academic skills are important, but your success is most apt to be determined by how strongly committed you are to putting in the time and effort required to master your coursework.

Take some time to think about the specific degree that makes the most sense for you. For instance, a general business program might not serve you as well as a program with a focus in accounting, marketing, management, etc. Conversely, a more general, broadly based degree program in business may better meet your needs.

Studies have shown that the best students are very meticulous about scheduling time to complete their assignments and sticking to their schedules. Map out your schedule and stick with it.

Remember that academic success will almost certainly come to you if you follow two rules; ask for help if you don't understand something and always stay current (or ahead) on your assigned work.
