365 Online Degree is for people fitting college around everything else: a full-time job, children, shift work, caregiving. Online study can make a degree possible for them, but the practical details are rarely spelled out before you enroll.
So we spell them out: how many hours a week a course really takes, what proctored exams involve, which rules protect online students, what an online program costs once the fees are added, and how to make the degree count afterward.
Where to start
- New to online study? How Online Programs Work explains formats, competency-based programs and what real online teaching looks like.
- Already enrolled? Succeeding Online covers workload, exams, technology and accommodations.
- Comparing programs? Choosing an Online Program covers state rules, costs and how online degrees are viewed.
How we work
We base our guides on primary sources, including the U.S. Department of Education’s distance education rules, NC-SARA, the Justice Department and the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, the Federal Communications Commission and court decisions. We use AI tools to help research and draft; every guide is checked against those sources before publication. We don’t rank schools, sell student leads or accept money from colleges or education companies, and there are no ads on the site.
