Online Learning and Blackboard®

All course offerings are listed in WebAdvisor as well as in the Academic Catalog. Current students can log in to WebAdvisor and use the "Search for Sections" link. Prospective students can click on this WebAdvisor link and select, "Search for Sections". Make sure that you select the appropriate "Term" and options before you hit "Submit".

Before you can enroll in an online course, or any course, you will have to complete the application process and be accepted. Once accepted, please contact a Resource Specialist at 937.778.8600 for help with first time registration. After you have enrolled in your first class, you will receive your account information and the next time you want to register for a course, you can register online using WebAdvisor.

NOTE  Students enrolling in online courses must demonstrate college-level proficiency in reading and writing AND successfully complete the Online Readiness Workshop. You may register for the workshop at the same time that you register for your online class. If you have taken online classes previously, you may petition to waive the Online Readiness Workshop requirement.

This depends on the type of online course that you enroll in. Online classes do not meet on campus. Web-flex courses meet on campus and online. (The instructor will set the schedule for on-campus meetings.)

You can purchase books online by visiting the Edison State Bookstore website.

You will need access to a computer with internet connectivity... high-speed is desirable. Please make sure you are aware of the Browsers | Versions that are certified to work with Blackboard. There may be additional software and/or plug-ins required by your instructor.
