Admissions

Make sure you check out the chats.

If you have little initiative, don't bother applying. This is a fast paced environment, and keeping up with assignments is necessary. Don't procrastinate. The pain-to-benefit level just isn't worth it. You can still take 1 class at a time and be full time, as long as you are taking a full year worth of classes. Even though they push for the 2 classes at a time, and I did that for a year, it got stressful as I have a job, a house and 2 adult disabled children who need support. Be realistic about what you can handle so you don't end up having to take a class over again. I'm old school, and this new learning style is based on the spiral theory. A lot of theory is introduced and scenarios to work with, but some classes just are not done justice in 5-1/2 weeks unless you already know the material.

Always Do Your Work Regardless If It's Right Or Wrong , Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help . Perfect Practice Makes Perfect . Remember With Hard Work And Dedication Anything Is Possible

Create time for the classes, the same way you would if attending classes on campus. Keep a planner/date book with all of your assignments listed. Stay in contact with your professor and network with peers.

CTU has good professor; they are always willing to answer your questions and clarify your concerns. Besides, students counselors are friendly and helpful and give advise as to which major you might take.

I have checked out other colleges online but they did not offer a classroom setting like this the classes offered sent me the information on my assignment and there was no interaction with a professor or other classmates. I enjoy Colorado Technical University online because I am able to collaborate with other students and my professor. If I wanted to take a course and mail the information into a professor I never see or interact with I would get a mail order school program.

My tips for future students is to read all instructions. Listen to all live chats. And allow yourself eight to ten hours for each class per week to succeed with grades in the A category.

there are many student support groups available to students of ctu. be sure to check them out and before your actual start date, once you have campus access, take as many free labs as you can to prepare yourself for your new college classes.

expect to work very hard.

If you are planning on taking courses online become very familiar with Microsoft Office. All of our assignments are completed with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It is a great opportunity to complete college online, because you make time to complete your assignments.
