How does a student enroll in a Distance Education (online) course? Is the process any different from enrolling in an on-campus class?
The enrollment process for adding a Distance Education (online) class is exactly the same as enrolling in an on-campus class. However, the student should note that along with the course description, the schedule of classes often has informational footnotes tied to online classes. These footnotes are no different than footnotes provided for on-campus classes, that require certain actions from students like contacting a teacher by email to confirm enrollment.
