Online Education

Education that’s Unique to you! Anytime, Anywhere. 

Online Education refers to courses where the instructor and the students are in a different physical location when instruction occurs. Lamar State College Port Arthur offers Distance Education through online courses. 

Online courses are those where instruction is delivered using the Internet. Online courses require Internet access and email; the student can attend the class anytime from anywhere. However, Some online courses may require campus visits for labs or exams. While the student does not have to attend a traditional classroom, assignments and other course deadlines apply. 

Each instructor offers a face-to-face orientation for every online class at the beginning of each term. The instructors review the syllabus, the student's expectations, and the course structure. The orientations are generally about an hour long and are held the first week of class. The orientations are optional for the students but are a good way to meet the instructor and other students in the class and ask questions they might not realize they have. 

Students can enroll in an online course after consulting with their advisor. Registration for online courses is conducted at the same time as campus-based courses.
