Registration
High school juniors and seniors with written permission from parent or guardian may take up to nine online credit hours per semester. These credits are fully applicable to our degree programs and may be transferable to other colleges. Because of the self-directed nature of online courses, it is highly recommended that students have a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
Online and on-site courses may be used interchangeably to meet the College's graduation requirements.
Tuition
When you have submitted your application and registration, you will receive an email with instructions for tuition payment. All students must pay in full at the time of registration for the online course.
On-site students who take online courses will be required to pay online tuition in addition to the on-site tuition and fees.
Your registration is not complete until full payment has been made. Course login information will be emailed to you approximately three days before classes begin.
Attendance
Our online "attendance" requirements differ from on-campus requirements due to the unique nature and compressed time frames of online learning. Online courses are designed as outcome-based not attendance-based courses. This means that in online courses it matters more that you complete your assignments than when you complete them. This allows students to have maximum flexibility in completing their work. As a result, students are expected to complete all assignments in accordance with the due dates and instructions published in the course information provided by the professor. The only exceptions granted will be with faculty approval and these will only be permitted with necessary and reasonable requests.
Online Course Instructors
All courses shall be taught exclusively by Oneness Pentecostal instructors.
Academic Advising
We do not provide tutorial assistance for students taking online courses, however, academic advising regarding course selection is available for degree-seeking students only. Students may contact the Registrar at (314) 838-8858 ext. 2114.
Auditing
There will be no auditing of online courses.
Course Incompletion
An incomplete as a grade is allowed only upon approval of the Academic Dean for work that is incomplete at the end of the semester due to factors beyond a student's control. This mark is temporary and may be changed to any other mark upon completion of the course requirements. This mark automatically becomes an "F" if it has not been cleared within three weeks after the end of the term for which it has been given.
Requirements
You must have a basic level of computer proficiency, as well as consistent Internet access. You should be comfortable working with the Internet and Microsoft Word.
Course Cancellations
Gateway College reserves the right to cancel any course that does not have the approved number of registrants. In the event a course is cancelled, tuition will be refunded.
