Back to FAQs

What is the meaning of the number of hours given for each course?
The number of hours shown are “equivalent classroom hours”. Thus, the workload for a 42 hour distance education course would be about the same as if you took a course through the traditional classroom delivery that is offered three hours per week for 14 weeks. We estimate that the student workload for one course is approximately 6 – 10 hours per week.

Back to FAQs

How many courses can I take per semester?
You may take as many courses as you want per semester. However, depending on your other time commitments, you may want to start with one or two courses. Then you will get a sense of the workload relative to your personal situation. Also, you must keep in mind the prerequisite courses and ensure that you have satisfied this requirement.

Back to FAQs

May I take more than one course at a time?
Yes, you may take more than one course at a time. Please keep in mind that you are expected to access your course every 48 hours.

Back to FAQs

What about textbooks and/or course manuals?
If your course has textbooks and/or manuals, you will be informed through the course outline/syllabus. You can order most textbooks through the Mohawk College Campus store.

Back to FAQs

Are the courses self-paced?
No, there are specific start and end dates for these courses and a schedule for course activities. You must follow the schedule so that all course work can be completed on time and be evaluated before your final exam.

Back to FAQs

Where do I write exams, if there are any?
Final exams are usually written in person at the college during the last week of the course. Approximately six weeks before the end of the course, you can view exam booking information online. If you live outside a 100 km. radius from the college, you are eligible to write with a proctor at another University or College test centre.

Back to FAQs

What are the computer requirements?
You need a Pentium class computer with Windows 95 or better with an Internet connection and the most up-to-date browser possible. Although all OntarioLearn courses will work with a dial-up connection, it is preferable to have hi-speed access as some files and links are not able for viewing through a dial-up connection.
