Be ready to learn online
Your eCampus program is made up of courses, and your courses are made up of classes. All your eCampus courses:
- Have official start and end dates
- Are delivered fully online
- Include detailed schedules and deadlines on Brightspace
Understand asynchronous vs synchronous programs
As an eCampus student, your program may be asynchronous or synchronous. You’ll find detailed course schedules and content on Brightspace once your program begins. Learn more about Brightspace
Asynchronous (learning on your own time)
Asynchronous programs are delivered fully online through mainly self-directed courses, with assignment deadlines to adhere to.
Synchronous (learning at scheduled times)
Synchronous programs are delivered fully online through scheduled courses using MS Teams (where you participate online on specific dates and times) and non-scheduled courses using Brightspace.
