24_can_i_do_this Of Course You Can!

Tiffin University's online learning program gives you the courses, real-world experiences, and guidance you need to meet your personal and professional goals. Can you have access to expert faculty like our on-campus students enjoy? Can you develop connections with your "classmates?" Can you find the technical and tutoring support you need? Of course you can.

If you are a motivated student who is good at multi-tasking, you will succeed with Tiffin's online courses.

We know that many of you lead busy lives and, quite frankly, most of you have full-time jobs. Our online programs are an ideal way for busy professionals to gain advanced training or to work toward switching career paths. You are not required to be online at any certain time of the day. You decide what works for your schedule.

Here are a few other things to consider as you ask the question: Can I do this?

Time Management
Time management may be the biggest factor in succeeding at your online course. You need to be very proactive in your studies and take responsibility for your learning. One of the first things to consider is: what time of day are you the most focused? Are you ready to roll in the morning, or are you more of a night owl? Do you do your best over the lunch hour or after you've had a chance to enjoy a nice dinner? Once you figure this out, reserve a designated amount of time each day to dedicate to your course.

Convenience
Many of you may have chosen to pursue an online course because it is convenient. Whether you work full-time, don't want to commute, or are raising a family, balancing school and personal obligations can be demanding. The real advantage of Tiffin online courses is that you can study around your schedule!

Study Environment
The best way to succeed is to find a quiet study space. Schedule your designated study time when you can be in a distraction-free environment, and your chances for success will increase.

Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions
At Tiffin, there are several ways for you to ask questions. All of our online courses offer instructor support, so you are just a click away from making a direct inquiry to your faculty member. Also, faculty members will provide you with their telephone numbers on the first day of class so you can reach them directly. We also offer tutoring and technical support, so you'll never feel lost or alone. You can communicate directly with other members of your class. This offers a great resource for our online students to discuss assignments and get feedback.  

Make a Real Effort
Remember that the more effort you put into your online course, the better chance you'll have to succeed once the course is complete. Tiffin's online courses have a lot to offer students who are willing and able to dedicate the time and energy to these professionally-focused academic programs. Students tell us again and again that they learn so much from reading the input provided by the faculty member and by the students.
