Students must have access to a computer system and the Internet. Synchronous and asynchronous courses taught online begin and end on the same dates as the traditional classes taught at Strayer University. Synchronous real- time courses are conducted through regular class meetings, where professors and students are all online at the same time. Asynchronous on- demand courses use a delivery platform that allows independent online study, where students can access course content and interact with the professor at different times. Both delivery methods have the same academic requirements as those courses taught in the traditional classroom environment. All synchronous and asynchronous classes are conducted online using the Internet. During the scheduled class periods offered synchronously, each class member accesses the Comment Removed the following statement: Further, to receive full credit for participation, students must participate in threaded discussions on at least two separate days, throughout the week in multiple discussion threads.
University s learning management system and is online in a conversational mode with the instructor and other class members. In this mode, the students are presented lectures, case studies, discussion questions, and problems; and they interact with the instructor and other class members. Students also discuss the status of their term papers, articles, projects, and exams in the platform. Asynchronous classes are conducted by and developed in coordination with the Strayer University faculty. During the course, faculty assess students, respond to inquiries, and hold dialogues with the students to support their learning efforts. Student assessment typically includes threaded discussions, exercises, written exams, quizzes, projects, research papers, and case analysis. Live chat sessions serve as open discussion sessions, during which students are coached, topic questions are elaborated upon, and feedback is given on assessment events. Video and other multi- media provide additional forums for faculty to share insights with students. Students are able to contact their instructor outside the scheduled online sessions by e- mail, telephone, or by scheduling personal meetings. A constant academic dialogue is maintained as students submit their assignments throughout the quarter and receive feedback from the instructor. Students taking classes online must meet the same admission and financial aid requirements, must observe the same policies and procedures, and have the same access to student services and activities as those students taking classes in the traditional classroom environment. Students who live in states where Strayer University has a campus and who enroll online must follow the curriculum requirements and policies of their home state unless otherwise indicated. Students should check with their campus advisor for confirmation on program availability. In order to satisfy weekly attendance requirements, online
students must demonstrate weekly attendance actively by completing one of the following actions as directed by the instructor: (1) submit an academic assignment; (2) take a quiz or an exam; (3) participate in a posted online academic discussion. Logging into an online class without active participation (as described above) does not constitute official weekly attendance.
