What is taking online classes like?
We recommend before applying for the online program, access the online readiness survey.
Readiness for Education At a Distance Indicator is an online assessment which quantifies a learner's level of readiness to study online. It measures variables of individual attributes (motivation, procrastination), learning styles, technical competency, on-screen reading speed & comprehension, and typing speed & accuracy. The assessment is for you to get a better understanding of your readiness to start this program.
This assessment is not used for admission purposes.
To take the test, please click the link below and when asked for a username and password use "ceonline" for the username and "students" for the password. Do not use the quotation marks in the username password field.
How do I access my classes?
Once you have been accepted into the cohort, you will be issued your ID number and a token number from the Graduate School, along with a CD that explains how to use ASC's technology.
A token ID is a temporary code used to set up your password. Using your user name and this password, you will access your classes through WebCT on the portal page of Adams State (http://portal.adams.edu/ )
