What is the difference between an online course and a print-based course?
All online classes require an eRaider account to log onto the course portal. From this course portal, students will be able to access their course(s) and submit their assignments online.
With a print-based course, you will still have access to the course portal. However, your assignments will be submitted through the mail with postage paid envelopes provided with your course materials.
