This is my latest, greatest online college video find. It is a series on Operating Systems hosted on Google Video from the University of Notre Dame. 

These are the basic steps that I use to learn my online college course material while attending school online.

1. Read the book. This is a very important step. Sometimes it can be omitted in a traditional classroom setting, but never online. Well, if you already know the course material…

2. Peruse the teacher’s material. Usually teachers will post lecture notes and sometimes videos or podcasts for online material.

3. If you still don’t understand the material, search like crazy for videos on:

• Google Video
• YouTube
• Personal Professor’s Websites from other institutions.

    Normally I can find teachers teaching from my books. Then, it feels like a real classroom setting.

Don’t forget your videos!

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students without cars or with cars that do not run very well. Do you drive something that could qualify for the clunker’s program and just might not make it to the grocery store once a week, much less the University or community college an hour and a half away? Go to school online. At least this way you might finish. Car problems, and this applies especially to those with bad credit or extremely limited finances, can not only set you back one semester but $1000-$10000 depending on the cost of tuition for the classes that you might have to drop and the cost of car repairs.

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students with children. Do you want time to spend with your family of five? Go to school online. Study at home and spend 10-15 extra hours with the ones in diapers. You’ll find that your schedule fits right in with soccer practice.

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students with full-time jobs. If you work 40+ hours a week and travel back and forth to work every day, you just don’t want to put for the extra effort it takes to sit in class 5 nights a week. Part-time school online is an excellent opportunity for career advancement. Online degrees are designed for people with jobs and are best accompanied by some type of experience in your field.

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students in the ARMY or NAVY. Enlisted students are often busy and travelling and can reach out and get their degree online while in the ARMY.

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students that travel. Do you love to travel or travel for work? Online schools allow you to travel and earn your degree at the same time. Enjoy France and get your Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and this leads in to the next item.

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students that are planning to move to another state, but do not wish to wait to qualify for in-state tuition, which usually takes around 1 year. Be careful with this option and make sure that your online college courses transfer to the institution in which you plan to enroll.

Online Colleges and Universities are an excellent idea for students with disabilities. If mobility is an issue, an online degree program can be the answer for you. Convenience and ease of attendance are great pros for Online Colleges and Universities.

The first step in any online college experience is applying for financial aid online. Financial aid is available to 95% of the population regardless of credit rating, family situation, religion, ethnicity, or income. Preference is given to those with lower incomes, but even if you make upwards of $60,000 a year and have horrible credit, you may still qualify for college loans to go to school online from the Federal Government of the United States. But first, you must file taxes and fill out a FAFSA online.

Don’t be fooled by the millions of .com sites that just redirect you to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Go directly to the site with a copy of your taxes that you filed last year in plain view. You may also want to make a list of the online schools and colleges that you are interested in. Fafsa.ed.gov will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to fill out the necessary forms for financial aid. Most online colleges and universities qualify for some type of financial aid, and this is often a good indicator of the quality of the online college or university.

The image above is an actual screenshot of my financial aid award. It is extremely personal information, and the only reason that it is being published is to inspire you to apply for and go to an online university or any college. If you’re anything like me, you think that you will never be able to afford this, that they don’t give loans to people like you, or that you just can’t. Erase all those negative thoughts.

If your online college qualifies, the Pell Grant provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain graduate students to promote access to postsecondary education. The Pell Grant is reserved for low-income students and the income cap is currently $15,000 a year to qualify for 0 EFC, which means that you qualify for the entire Pell Grant. EFC is your expected family contribution and is calculated using your income and other factors like your age and marital status. An EFC calculator can be located at http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml . Follow the instructions to determine how much of your online educational costs you are responsible for.

There are many other grants and scholarships as well as loans that are provided to assist you in your online collegiate experience. Some additional information can be found here: http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/, but it is a good idea to perform your own search as each person is unique. There are often more grants provided to single mothers and diverse students seeking further education. Additional information will be highlighted in future post, but this is the first step in your online college experience. This step should be completed as quickly as possible so that you may choose an online school within your budget. Don’t delay. Often scholarships and grants are provided on a first come first serve basis and offered until funds are diminished. Apply now!
