Online Environment & Resources

The core coursework for the program is online. The online coursework will be primarily asynchronous, meaning that students will have flexibility in planning days and times to view course materials/lectures and complete assignments each week.  

Students and faculty meet for live web conferencing in platforms like Zoom. In addition to any syncrhonous course meetings, students are advised to keep Thursdays from 6-8pm PST open for periodic meetings during the semester to make program annoucements and to discuss items of mutual interest to students. Occasionlly, this time slot will be integrated into course activities. This is a great way to maintain contact with the program community.

Students are generally not required to be present on campus, but those who would like to are welcomed and will have access to departmental facilities.

All resources available to on-campus students are also available to students taking online courses. The Student Center has numerous resources, including the ability to check transcripts, grades, registration dates, and many more items online.

There are numerous online support services. Some of these include:

• IT Help Desk (707) 826-HELP (4357), help@humboldt.edu,  Help Desk hours are Mon-Fri 8am-8:00pm, and Sat-Sun 12:00noon -4:00pm, except holidays.
