Online Student Contract
	I have read the informational links and course information/syllabus at the course website (www.college-online.com) to understand the course requirements and expectations including any minimum equipment/software needed to access my course online.
	I understand that it is my responsibility to use the information provided at www.college-online.com to log into my course on the start date of my class, not before.
	I am comfortable with the skills needed to succeed in an online course (logging into a course with correct username and password, sending emails with attachments; posting in discussion boards; updating my virus protection software; finding resources on the Internet; and working with technical support .
	If I register late for my class, I will contact the instructor for all questions and concerns and allow 24 hours for access to the course.
	I am responsible for ensuring my computer has adequate virus protection software and correct browser settings (http://www.college-online.com/help/technical.htm).
	I will, at a minimum, login to my online course(s) weekly and will meet the additional participation requirements as provided by the instructor of my online course(s).
	I will order my books, software and any other required items for online course(s) in a timely matter, so that I have received them by the first day of class.
	I know that, if a course is offered in an accelerated format, the time necessary to achieve the course learning outcomes will be greater than that required for a traditional class.
	I will inform my instructor of absences that I anticipate over the duration of my course(s).
	Should I decide to drop my online course(s), I understand it is my responsibility to do so using WebAdvisor or to contact Student Records at 864-250-8115.

If in-person exams are required, I will attend on the dates, times and locations indicated OR as an out-of-area student complete a Proctor Agreement form to have the examinations administered at a designated examination site.
	I understand that delay in completing any assignments or exams on scheduled dates, even though approved, may result in a delay in official transcript reporting. In the event that I do not keep up with course assignments and activities, I understand I will need to file an official drop request prior to the final withdrawal date to avoid receiving a failing grade in the course.
	I understand that ANY computer with Internet access (including GTC campus computers) can be used to continue coursework and “home computers” being serviced will not be accepted as a reason for not completing coursework, tests, or assignments.
