Classroom Etiquette

While attending online classes, you are expected to demonstrate the same etiquette as students attending classes on campus. Each session requires your full attention. Here are some guidelines to follow when preparing to attend online classes:

Gather the required technology to ensure that you have a strong, reliable Internet connection, so you don’t miss key information or participation in class activities. We recommend an Ethernet cord for a hardwired connection during each class.

Attend each live class session, which is an essential part of this program. We recommend that you log in a few minutes before classes start to give yourself enough time to connect to the live session, audio, and video.

Find an appropriate location to attend classes online that will not affect you or your classmates’ learning experience. Plan ahead so you have access to a place that is relatively quiet and well-lit and has no foot traffic.

Practice good on-camera etiquette to avoid distracting your peers and professors. Ensure that your camera is directly facing you, and remember that everyone in the online classroom can see everything within view of your webcam.
