Online courses do not require you to be physically present at any point during the term. There is not a specified time the online class meets and course materials are accessible 24/7. Professors provide the online resources that students need to complete the assignments, projects, and tests by creating modules for each section, topic, or week of the semester. Since these courses are condensed into a seven-week format (half the time of a regular semester course), two classes of six credits total is considered full-time.
