TMU Online classes run in two 8-week terms (A and B) each fall and spring semester, with a few exceptions for language and high school dual enrollment courses, plus an 8-week summer term. Most students take two courses each term, but you may choose to take more or less to suit your needs. Your financial aid will depend on the number of courses you take during a given term.
Most classes are 3 credit hour courses, taught in 8-weeks instead of a full semester, so you can expect to spend up to 12 hours per week working on each of your courses. Assignments are typically due by midnight on Tuesday night, so in most cases you can work at your own pace throughout each week.
You will need reliable, high-speed internet access for your online classes. We recommend Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as your browser- we do NOT recommend Internet Explorer, Safari, or MS Edge. Some classes may ask you to record a video or audio of yourself for an assignment. You will have access to Office365 software through your TMU email account. All online classes are both Mac and PC friendly- however, some functionality may be lost when using a Chromebook.
Upon admittance, the Registrar’s Office will be in contact with you via phone or email to set up the schedule for your first term. After that, you will register yourself for classes via our student portal.
Textbooks for all of your courses can be ordered at http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/truett.htm.
