Student Expectations

All Certificate courses are offered online through Web-based distance education. To be successful in an online (distance education) course you must be familiar with the basic operation of your computer hardware and software. The fundamental skills you need include word processing, sending and receiving email, attaching documents to emails, and browsing the Web.

Enroll in the Graduate Certificate Program in Professional Writing and Communication if:

• You are a self-directed, self-motivated, independent learner who will ask for help from the instructor when necessary.
• You have basic computer experience and competence with word processing, email, and browsing the Web.
• You have regular access to the computer you will use to connect to the course for the entire semester.
• You know how to send, receive, and attach documents to emails.
• You can download files to your hard drive.
• Your computer hardware and software meet the minimum requirements (see below).

If you meet all the requirements, you might be well suited to enroll in the Graduate Certificate Program in Professional Writing and Communication.

If you are not sure whether your computer will connect successfully, please contact the program Coordinator Administrative Assistant Inga Zile at ingazile@uwm.edu.
