OSUConsider this great new course when planning for future terms!

The transition to online learning can be full of surprises, and often, new students hit the ground eager to succeed but without the support to achieve at a level that matches their intentions. ALS 108: Online Learning Success (formally ALS 115x) has finally been approved as a permanent course.

“I had researched a lot of stuff before I started school but this class gave me even more helpful information…I have seen in my other on-line classes a number of people post they are struggling in blackboard or with some aspect of their on-line process that I saw covered in ALS 115. The attention to OSU resources was extremely valuable and surprising there were so many available.”

“I suggest that ALS 115 be a required course for anyone that is studying on-line or seeking an Ecampus degree. “

“I have been really inspired this week by all the learning assessments.  I loved finding out how to create comprehensive notes!  That was epic.”

This course may be especially helpful for any student who is in their first few terms of study or anyone who is experiencing hesitancy or difficulty with online learning.

We hope you have a successful fall term!

Can you believe it’s May already? Here are some very important dates to keep in mind:

  • Priority Registration – Typically students need a registration PIN to register for Fall term. Priority registration begins May 19th (check your Student Online Services for your specific day/time). It’s time to start thinking about setting up an advising appointment to get your PIN and make sure you have a good 2013-2014 plan.
  • S/U and Withdraw – S/U’ing and/or Withdrawing can be a great strategy to protect your GPA. Typically you can S/U any non-major or minor course. The deadline is FRIDAY, MAY 17th. Contact your advisor to inquire whether S/U’ing or Withdrawing would be a good choice for you!
  • Finals Week – Monday–Friday, June 10–14 
  • SOME FUN IN THE SUN & RELAXATION – shortly thereafter…
