Using a computer at school, home, while travelling or at work, you will log in to your class to receive course information, view course content, submit assignments, and have discussions and interact with your instructor, course mates, and support services.

A Bermuda College student explains what it takes to be successful:


Things to know...

  • Online learning is flexible and convenient...but NOT EASIER!
  • Expect to study a minimum of 3 - 10 hours each week
  • Log into your class regularly, at least 3 times per week
  • You must remember to "attend" your online class regularly without reminders from your instructor
  • Class discussions using the Discussion Board may be required
  • You will submit assignments and possibly tests online
  • Bermuda College online courses are not self-paced. The instructor sets the deadlines for the course work.
Combining work, family, and higher education can be a challenge.

The following videos explain how distance education may provide the flexibility you need:
