ABOUT MERCERONLINE

The Internet, computers, and independent study open alternate pathways to college. If you are highly motivated and enjoy working independently, virtual learning empowers you to decide when and where learning fits into your busy schedule.

Please remember that online classes are not self-paced. It is important that you log in on a regular basis.

MERCERONLINE INCLUDES FULLY ONLINE, HYBRID, AND ADD-ON CLASSES.

Fully-online based classes

Fully-online classes are offered entirely online, although sometimes you will be asked to take exams in the Testing Center or another approved educational site. Please refer to the class syllabus for information concerning on-campus proctored exams for the individual courses.

Note: If you are an out-of-state student taking an online class and the class requires a proctored exam, you will be responsible for talking with the faculty member and arranging a proctored agreement with another educational institution or public library.

Hybrid Classes

Hybrid classes consist of both face-to-face and online lessons. With a hybrid class, students meet on campus half the time and complete the other portion online.

Add-on Classes

A majority of faculty will use the Blackboard learning management system to supplement the traditional face-to-face classroom by posting syllabi, handouts, and other important information online.

STATE AUTHORIZATION RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT (SARA)
