Helpful Tips for Online Students

I've never taken an online course before. Is there anything I should know to help me prepare?

Imagine traveling to an unfamiliar city. Did you ever get lost? Even with the help of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and online mapping sites, it's not impossible to lose your way. An online classroom is similar as you can become lost without having any guidance.

The tax credit will cover educational expenses paid to the academic institution that are required for attendance. The tax credit can be applied to tuition, because that fee must be paid directly to the school. Does it cover the cost of books and supplies? No, unless the cost of books and supplies is part of the tuition, or if the books and supplies are only available through your academic institution.

One way to prepare yourself for your first course is to log into the virtual classroom as soon as you can. Click the different links and images to learn where information is located and how to access different parts of your class. Though this advice seems simple enough, first time students commonly express feeling intimidated when beginning. Read more of tips like these in our article How to Prepare for your First Online Class.

Online Student Interview: Tiffany

"…considering the fact that I held a full-time job and was working 50+ hours a week, it was sometimes difficult to place the same importance on finishing my coursework as I did on completing my work objectives."

Tiffany was still academically ambitious after earning her bachelor's degree. She wanted to get the best start possible, so she went for her MBA. "I knew I had to [get my MBA] in order to advance in the business world."

Today, this Florida native is working at a marketing firm. Her company helped her earn her degree by providing tuition assistance to its employees.

"I lucked out by working for a company that values education as much as I do and was willing to help me accomplish my educational goals."

Read about the experience of this 25-year-old go-getter whose competitive spirit keeps her learning.
