Plan for Obstacles
Students who study online say the work-life balance is their greatest obstacle to success. To earn an online degree and manage responsibilities outside school, you need a lot of planning, discipline, grit, and determination. You’ll need to:
Realistic expectations are important. Signing up for too many classes at once can be exhausting.
Time management is important. Protect your schedule by separating dedicated study blocks each term.
Set up a system of support. You can reach out to your employer, friends, family, neighbours and colleagues for emotional support or practical assistance.
