Our on-campus classroom programs combine the familiar experience of an in-person classroom with convenient online support resources. Live online courses offer the same great program as the in-person ACT Prep Courses with the added flexibility of attending class from any location.
Our virtual classroom provides you with the opportunity to interact in real-time with our expert instructors and to re-watch the recordings of your classes at your convenience 120 days after your last scheduled class session.
Live-Online Office Hours
Weekly live-online office hours provide a convenient way for students to get individualized help with specific questions or concerns. The live-online office hours are free-form meetings open to all participants from both the on-campus and live-online ACT Prep Courses. The sessions are “drop-in” and student-directed, so there will not be a planned presentation for each session. Instead, our instructors will answer questions and work through problems in the order that they are received.
System Requirements
ACT Live-Online Prep Courses and Live-Online Office Hours require Adobe Connect, a free application. All you need to participate in live-online courses or office hours are a high-speed internet connection and speakers or headphones.
