Welcome to the BGSU Distance Learning Orientation page. If you have ever wondered, "What is Distance Education?", then you are in the right place.
How Online Classes work
Online courses at BGSU begin and end on the semester schedule and assignments and tests have specific deadlines. Although you do not have to travel to campus to attend courses, you must log in often to stay on track with due dates and to successfully complete each course.
Delivered completely online via Blackboard, you will find that BGSU online courses deliver the same quality content as face to face courses while using technologically advanced methods and providing a high level of interaction with your instructor and classmates.
