• How do I know if online is a good fit for me?

   

  It is important that students and parents consider the following factors when deciding to take an online class:
  
  

  • The online class environment promotes independent learning and will require students to be self-motivated and mature as they will be responsible for their progress.
  • While the format of the online classes is non-traditional and flexible, students should expect to be challenged and have nightly and/or weekly homework, tests, projects, or papers. In order to be successful, students must be disciplined to follow the designed scope and sequence of the course.
  • Courses are provided by a partner institution, and each partnering institution has policies and procedures for the completion of online work, grading, tests, late work, and other educational practices; these do not necessarily follow the same policies and procedures as Linfield Christian High School. Therefore, parents and students need to understand and agree to follow the institutions’ designed curriculum and policies.
  • Regarding non-Linfield courses: While LCO will facilitate enrollment into these courses and will recognize this coursework on a student’s transcript, students and parents will primarily be dealing with the online instructor and partnering institution. It is critical to understand the expectations for communication and also realize that online education is different from a traditional classroom experience. The majority of communication will occur electronically, so students and parents need to understand and follow the procedures designed by the partnering institution to insure success.

• First Steps and Enrollment

  The first step in enrolling in an online class is to meet with the College Counselor assigned to you. Once the online class is integrated into the four-year plan and is approved, a link will be provided for registration and payment. After the registration information is received, you will be contacted by the student advisor to set up the class.
  
  

  Please Note: If you enroll in the class and decide to drop within two weeks of the course start date, you will receive a full refund (except for the $75 processing & registration fee). However, if you drop the course after two weeks, no refunds will be available.
