It's not too late to apply for the Spring Semester. Classes start January 19, so you will need to apply right away at www.volstate.edu/apply
The college has hundreds of courses to choose from in more than 100 areas of study. Vol State Online offerings come in three versions. Online asynchronous classes don’t have regular class meetings, allowing students to set their own schedule during the week, with due dates for assignments. Virtual synchronous classes have regularly scheduled online class meetings with instructors via Zoom or other video platforms. The third type, hybrid classes, offer limited in-person class sessions, combined with online coursework. Vol State will have limited on-site face-to-face classes this spring on all four campuses, primarily focusing on courses that feature hands-on class work. New students can apply now at www.volstate.edu/apply. The semester begins January 19.
Vol State students have a variety of free online academic support available, including math tutoring and help with papers, speeches and other assignments. Details can be found here: www.volstate.edu/student-support-online
