Getting enrolled in an Online Degree Program
Posted by Jennifer Buchholz on January 16th, 2009
Once the application process was complete, the enrollment process seemed quite straightforward and streamlined. Capella has enrollment periods, so all applications needed to be in by a certain date in order to enroll for the next term.
From a scheduling standpoint, there was not a lot to consider. Scheduling the course was easy - I worked with my counselor over the phone to get scheduled for the first course. There was a course that all incoming students take, so that was the course I was enrolled in. For this course, there were no books to purchase, so it didn’t take much time to get up and running.
Every school will have a different process for getting students into classes, but generall these steps need to be complted: application, financial aid, enrollment. It’s important to find out how long the school expects that process to last and use that timeframe as a guide to ensure you’re applying in time to start classes when you plan to.
Once all the application and financial aid is in place, the enrollment for courses should follow pretty easily. Most schools will have counselors that work with you to ensure that you’re getting the courses that you need in the proper timeframes to complete the degree within the anticipated timeframe.
