ABOUT ONLINE COURSES
If you have a good working knowledge of computers and the Internet, and are experienced at using them, online courses may be a good fit for you. You’ll need:
- A computer that meets eCampus’ technical requirements (see below)
- Dial-up, DSL or cable Internet connection. Some courses specifically require a high-speed connection.
- E-mail account
- Current Web browser
Online courses start and end according to the regular SPC term dates, but individual classes have no pre-set meeting schedule. Courses incorporate a variety of multi-media materials that may include textbooks, CDs, streaming video, and Web resources. You’ll submit your exams and completed assignments electronically, and interact with other students and your instructor via e-mail, online bulletin boards, and chat rooms.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ONLINE COURSES
If you plan to take an online course, you’ll need access to a computer that meets eCampus’ technical requirements. Some e-courses also have specific requirements in addition to the basic ones. It’s important to check the course description and the course’s online Information Page for these requirements.
For complete information about technical requirements for e-courses, as well as online tutorials and other useful tools, go to the eCampus home page www.spcollege.edu/eCampus. Click on Help & FAQs in the left navigation bar, then on Technical Information.
If your own computer doesn’t meet the requirements, consider using the computers at SPC’s campus computer labs, your local public library, or cyber-cafes in your area. If you are planning to take an online course on a computer at your workplace, check with the company’s Information Technology staff to avoid any potential problems with firewalls.
