CSU Global SSAs

[dfrecore]

I would think it would depend on the student - my kid is enrolled at PurdueGlobal, they are only allowing her to take 2 courses the first term even though she has 30cr after 1 year in college, proving that she can be a full-time student, with good grades.  So she is going to take Study.com courses as well - she can easily do much more than the PT schedule they have her on.  I'm sure that's true for others as well - they are not taking a full course load and could fit in some additional credits, especially with no deadlines and papers to turn in.

You can take 3 classes per 8 week term and it's a LOT of work. You have discussions and responses every week along with a paper for each class. There are Thursday and Sunday deadlines every week.

That assumes that everyone is taking 3 classes, which they are not.

When I was at CSU Global last year most students were taking 2 classes a term. The third class is an overlapped term so you have the extra class for 4 weeks in Term A and 4 weeks in Term B. I did it once. It was an absolute nightmare because of how much work is involved in the courses at CSU.

Geez - ALL I am saying is that not everyone is taking a full load, and some have the bandwidth to take on something like an SSA.
