Online Courses FAQ
Is online learning right for me?
Online courses allow for busy working adults to learn from home (or anywhere) while still providing the high-quality educational experience you expect from Mercer University. Read the Online Course Overview for more information about online learning at Mercer.
What can I expect from a Mercer online course?
You can expect the same faculty interaction, the same academic challenge, and the same small class sizes you see on campus. Download the Online Student Guide to learn more about becoming an online learner at Mercer.
What resources are available for students taking online classes at Mercer?
When you register for an online course, you will be enrolled in the online student orientation which will introduce you to Blackboard and help you prepare to become an online learner. Online students also have access to online services through the Library and Academic Resource Center. The CCPS Student Resources Page also contains links to these campus resources, and others such as the technology department, student technology tutorials, and online research tools. This site is your one-stop resource center.
