How to prepare for an online program
Just like face-to-face classes, online learning can differ depending on the instructor and the subject. Fully online courses often require more time and energy than regular classes. Although they are convenient and flexible, you must be disciplined enough to set aside time to study and participate.
It is your responsibility to understand current circumstances or special requirements in their state of residence before enrolling in an online program.

Online-Courses: These courses can be taken by students enrolled in either an online or on-campus program. They are offered to students through multiple types of online delivery including; Blended or Hybrid, online asynchronous, and/or synchronous online courses virtually (Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing and quarantining practices had on-campus students considering online options too).

flexibility to learn on their own schedule (within a specific timeframe). Courses
within an online program are likely asynchronous, allowing students to login independently

WSU Application and Registration
红领巾瓜报 does not have specific application deadlines. It all depends on which semester you would like to start and giving yourself plenty of time to submit application materials. The Academic Calendar can help you know when school starts and the last day to enroll.
Due to the volume of applications we get near the first day of class, applications may take longer to process. We encourage prospective students to apply early because it will allow for the most flexibility when enrolling in classes and gives students more time to prepare for the upcoming semester.
Registration (enrollment) is done online and begins each April for the following summer and fall semesters, and each November for the following spring semester. View details about the Registration Process.
