Email advising@northeast.edu to learn more about online courses, degrees, and academic and student services available to online students. Online courses are not right for every learner. It requires you to be disciplined, focused, and have a high level of computer competency. Online students are expected to work in their online courses 2-3 hours per week for every credit hour of the course. For example: a 3-credit hour course requires 6-8 hours per week of study, preparation, and assessment of learning activities. If you do not own a computer or just purchased one, you may want to consider a face-to-face basic computer course as a starting point.
