How long will it take to complete the course?
Traditional and Online classes:  This will vary for each student. It is based on the student's strengths and needs.  If attending a traditional class students will complete quicker if they attend the entire class each day.  For online classes, students will complete quicker if completing all assignments and spending a minimum of 10(ten) hours per week on the computer.

Can everything be done online? 
Online classes:  Although you will be completing your study work online, you will need to come to campus for orientation, progress tests, and college placement tests.  So, not everything can be completed online. 

Are these courses easier or quicker than the traditional ACE courses?
Online classes:  Generally these courses are more difficult for students than traditional courses because they require more planning and commitment from the student. It is not quicker or easier for students to complete their review work through these courses but can accommodate those who cannot attend at regular class times.
