What academic and spiritual support is available to students?
The online student is not left alone. Success is a team effort. It is generated on three levels of support. At the student level acceptable progress is advanced in the mutual concern of fellow classmates who begin to establish a virtual community at the orientation experience. These relationships deepen through consistent online interaction. Support is also offered at the faculty level through involved online instructors and academic advisors who effectively use the power of the Virtual Classroom and school email. The last level of support is provided by a personal mentor. The program assigns a spiritual mentor to each student who stands with him or her as an accountability partner. The mentor relationship promotes both academic and spiritual progress.
