PLEASE READ:

BSBA online courses are a fundamentally different teaching and learning experience than that to which many students are accustomed. This different experience is due to several factors, including:

1. Courses Delivered in a Highly Accelerated & Compressed Format

BSBA online courses are delivered in a highly accelerated, 7-week format. A fast rate of learning is required.
Courses concentrate the amount of content found in a typical 16-week semester into 7 weeks.
Weekly workload is significantly more than a traditional course. Students should plan for 15-18 hours of work each week.
Students can expect weekly assignments, both mid-week and end-of-week due dates, with little-to-no flexibility for late work or schedule accommodations.

2. 100% Asynchronous Course

BSBA online courses are delivered in a 100% asynchronous format, which means there are no scheduled real-time/live meeting times or scheduled live interaction with faculty. All interactions in courses (e.g., student-faculty, student-student) occur through computer-mediated technology (e.g., Blackboard Ultra, e-mail).
BSBA online courses have a very strong emphasis and reliance on directed (individual) learning, opposed to a traditional real-time faculty-student interaction and/or student-student interactions/projects.

3. Less Interaction with the Professor Than Traditional Courses

BSBA online courses utilize Virtual Assistants (VAs). VAs are an important part of the teaching team, serving as the first, and often primary, point of communication. This can be a significant adjustment for students, particularly those who have attended YSU as an undergraduate or are part of a smaller graduate program.

4. Strict Adherence to the Syllabus

Deadlines, due dates, etc. will be strictly adhered to. Any accommodation must be approved by the YSU Dean of Students (NOT the instructor).

I understand the factors above can create a different learning experience than other courses I may have taken or am enrolled in. I have discussed these factors with my advisor. Given this acknowledgment, I take the responsibility of my learning and would like to register for the course.*

PLEASE NOTE: This is only a request for a course override. Students completing the form are not guaranteed enrollment into the course/s. If a course/s are closed due to maximum seat capacity limits, overrides will can not be processed.
