Online Students

Online classes or eLearning, as we call it at South, require additional effort and resources from the student. The information and links below, provided by our eLearning Department, will help guide your decision to take online classes and your course experience.

New to eLearning?

Will online classes work for you?

If you have never taken an online class, please view our "Are eLearning Courses For Me?" webpage. 

Do you have the technology and skills?

After determining if an online class will work for you, you want to make sure you have all the required technology and skills to be successful in the course. Please review this resources list to assess your readiness to take online classes.

What should I expect? How do I prepare?

In addition to the required technology and skills, you need to know what to expect in an online class. A full list of tips on how to be a successful online student can be found here.
