Ten Rules for Success in an Online College

By: Daniel Kane

Do not be in too much of a rush to get started. Take as much time as you need to thoroughly investigate at least four or five online colleges and find one you feel enthusiastic about.

The colleges with names most familiar to you are not necessarily those with the programs best for you. Take time to consider colleges you have not heard much about...you may be pleasantly surprised.

Prepare a list of questions to ask admissions representatives, so you will be able to compare the colleges you are considering.

If an admissions representative calls you, ask the questions you have prepared, and listen carefully to what he or she has to say. Get all the facts.

Remember that affordability is not simply a matter of tuition. How many credits a college is willing to grant for prior learning, the amount of financial aid it can offer, and the existence of tuition installment plans are all factors to be considered.

Don't trust your memory. Take notes whenever you speak with an admissions representative on the phone or in person. And, also take notes when reading college brochures.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to earn a degree, but it does require time and work. Be sure you have the proper motivation.

Do some serious thinking before choosing a major field of study. Consider your immediate and long range educational and professional goals, and the education you will need to achieve them.

Successful students put together and stick to a study schedule. Unsuccessful students procrastinate and try to fit in study time when it is convenient. Emulate the successful students...you'll be happy you did.

If you have been out of school for a few years, don't be intimidated. Just be sure to keep up with your assignments and ask questions whenever you do not understand the material.
