Self-paced courses allow students to complete course assignments at their own pace, as long as the course is completed within a year. Self-paced courses are great for:

• Students who want to start right away
• Students who are self-directed and can set and stick to a plan for completing the course
• Students who may want to either go faster or slower than the instructor-paced version

• Students who prefer a structured timeline with established due dates for assignments
• Students who enjoy interaction with other students, who will be completing assignments at the same time
• Students who are taking their first course online, and may benefit from greater guidance
