With a diverse range of courses available during the fall, spring and summer terms, Online Learning is a convenient way to work toward a degree or just pursue personal enrichment.
Online courses start and end with the regular semester calendar. Just as in classroom-based courses, online courses have reading and homework assignments with deadlines.

"I decided that SUNY Adirondack was the right fit for my new life. I was now a full-time, working mother and student ... I decided to take online classes here, and it gave me the opportunity to work a 9-to-5 job. Dropping out was not an option for me, and SUNY Adirondack made it so that a degree was always within reach."

Online courses are not for everyone.
SUNY Adirondack online courses are not self-paced. You will have reading assignments and homework with due dates similar to a classroom course. Making a study schedule and sticking to it is the single most important step you can take to ensure that you will successfully complete an online course.
If you typically put off tasks to the last minute, you are strongly advised to take classroom-based courses instead of online classes. When you enroll in an online course, plan to begin “attending class” the very first day of the semester, just as you would for classroom-based courses.
Unlike in classroom-based courses, your instructor, your classmates and you each work at your own times and in separate locations, but you will still need to meet deadlines.
Plan to work a minimum of 9 hours a week for each 3-credit course and 12 hours a week for 4-credit classes.
SUNY Adirondack students should first attempt to resolve complaints through internal campus processes and procedures. The SUNY Adirondack Student Handbook describes the appropriate complaint procedures. However, the U.S. Department of Education regulations require each State to have a process to handle complaints for all institutions in their State, except Federally-run institutions (including service academies) and tribal institutions such as tribally-controlled community colleges. For purposes of HEA eligibility under these regulations, the State remains responsible for responding to complaints about institutions in the State regardless of what body or entity actually manages complaints.
Institutions delivering courses by distance education are required to provide students or prospective students with contact information for filing complaints with the State approval or licensing entity in the student’s State of residency and any other relevant State official or agency that would appropriately handle a student's complaint.
Contact Information for each state has been collected by the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO). Click HERE for more information.
