Online Course Request

The availability of online courses is determined by the scheduling needs of students enrolled in online programs. On-ground students may request access to online sections, but the following exceptions apply. 

• BSM students: BSCI 468 must be taken in the on-ground format.
• MBA students: BSCI 650/651 must be taken in the on-ground format and requests can be made for only courses offered in the Online MBA program.
• MSML students: BSCI 650/651, OTMT 672 & OTMT 679 must be taken in the on-ground format and requests can only be made for courses offered in the Online MSML Program.
• MSHR students: BSCI 650/651 must be taken in the on-ground format and requests can only be made for courses offered in the Online MSHR Program.
• Students who have a registration hold must clear the registration hold prior to submitting an online request. Any requests submitted with a registration hold will be automatically denied. 

Due to the limited availability of online courses, not all requests may be granted. Priority will be given to students who have a compelling and verifiable reason for not being able to enroll in an on-ground course, which may include one of the following: 

 

To substantiate your request, please forward any relevant documentation (e.g., letter from employer, medical reports, etc.) to your program advisor after submitting the request form. 

• All campus-based students enrolled in an online course will be automatically enrolled in an asynchronous technology orientation module to familiarize you with 2PEP. The orientation module will introduce you to the features of the platform along with tools that will be used in the new online environment. All students enrolled in an online course, including those who have previously completed an online orientation, must complete the online orientation within 2PEP. To ensure optimal preparation for the new learning management system, be sure to allocate 2-3 hours to complete the module prior to the deadline. Students who fail to complete the orientation by the specified deadline will automatically be dropped from the online course in which they were enrolled. 

• Live (synchronous) sessions are required instructional elements of every online class, and real time attendance and engagement is expected on a consistent basis. To ensure the fulfillment of all course objectives and deliverables, faculty may require attendance at certain live sessions without exception. In cases where an absence from a session has been approved by the instructor, you will be assigned work to demonstrate mastery of the required content. Failure to complete this work will impact your grade.                
  

• Each live session will run for 90-minutes and be scheduled from either 5:15 to 6:45 PM or 7:00 to 8:30 PM (California Time).
• Questions about the live session schedule and/or potential conflicts should be discussed directly with the course instructor.
