Midwestern College Online provides students with a flexible, convenient way to earn college credit without having to go to a Midwestern College campus or center.

Students take online classes for a number of reasons. Some of them may include:

• Convenience/Flexibility – The fact that you can access an online course anywhere and anytime is major factor to consider. A student can work on their course at 4 a.m. in their pajamas or halfway across the world!
• One-on-One Instruction – Unlike an on-campus course, the instructor is able to answer your questions individually without the interruption of other students.
• Cost Effectiveness – Students do not have to worry about child care or gas costs when taking an online course.

• Complete an application form
• No criminal background (see list of prohibited offenses)
• Submit attestation form, high school diploma, or GED certificate. If in high school, complete Work-keys (score of 4 or above is required)
• Pay tuition in full or down payment
• Submit TB test result (Must be completed by the end of the first week)

Yes & No. If you do not have a GED or High school diploma, you must first take and pass the Work-keys test with a score of 4 or above.

Weekday, Weekend, Evening, and Online

For weekday and evening classes, clinicals are held during the week; those clinical times will correlate with which class you choose. Weekend courses offer weekend clinicals. Your instructor will inform you the first week of class when clinical rotations will be held.

• Weekday: 6 AM – 3 PM (3 rotations)
• Evening: 3 PM – 9 PM (4 rotations)
• Weekend: 6 AM – 3 PM (3 rotations)

For all courses, there is a non-refundable $20 application fee. The other costs that are covered with course fees are the state testing application, tuition, and licensing. Books will be provided to you however uniform will be the students’ responsibility. Each course is a different cost so be sure to check with the admissions coordinator. You can do this by using our online chat service, email, or phone.

After successfully completing the course (score of 75% or above, attending all classes and assigned clinicals, turned in volunteer paperwork and presenting your topic), and paying all dues:

• We send your paperwork to testing center. Be advised that some centers may charge extra $5 dollars.
• Once the testing center receives the roster, they mail us an Authorization To Test (ATT) letter
• [ATT] Includes the location of the testing site, date, and time
• Once we receive the ATT and verify everything is correct, we mail it to the student, or a copy will be provided the last day after final is taken
• Be advised that the student will not test until at least 3 weeks post from the last day of class
• Testing is a predetermined scheduled date and time that is the student’s responsibility to ensure they can attend

(It is very important for the student to keep us updated in address changes so that we can mail the ATT to the right address)

You can choose from the list of testing sites. Generally, we choose a site closest to campus for convenience to the student’s, although other arrangements are available.

You will have to retake the course.

• Wichita: 1st Friday of the month from 7:30 AM – 6:30 PM
• Overland Park: 2nd Friday of every month from 7:30 AM – 6:30 PM
• Online: 15th – 31st of every month. This must be completed no later than the last day of the month.

Online students must be self-motivated, disciplined and, college-level readers. Online courses require that you have good computer skills and have access to a computer with internet service.

Online courses are neither more difficult nor easier than face-to-face classes. Students will be expected to work just as hard. It’s important to note that a successful online student must be self-motivated and cannot procrastinate. You may be able to log into the class and complete the assignments at any time, but you still have deadlines.

Each online course has a specific instructor. You will communicate with the instructor through the Online College interface.

Most online courses do not require you to be online at a certain time. If the instructor requires you to be online at a certain time, it will be noted in the course syllabus.

Midwestern instructors record your online attendance each week for your online course(s). In order to be counted present in your course, you must log in and complete your instructor’s attendance requirements for the week. Individual instructors may have additional requirements before attendance requirements are satisfied. The week for attendance usually runs from Monday 12:00 A.M. through 11:59 P.M. Sunday.

Please check the individual course syllabus carefully for these requirements or check with your instructor. If these requirements are not satisfied, you will be counted absent for the week!

No, your class will have specific requirements each week for assignments and attendance. You cannot complete an online course early or try to make up for lost time at the end of the class.

You will upload your assignments in MOODLE using the Assignment Drop Box.

Each online course is different and some instructors may have you go to a convenient location to take some tests. See your course syllabus or contact your instructor for information about testing requirements.

Contact your instructor first. Then, if he/she can’t help you, contact the Midwestern Help Desk for any technical problems you may have.

Unless otherwise notified, an online course is not available in MOODLE until the first day of class for that class.
