Columbia State along with other Tennessee Board of Regents institutions, participates in online course offerings through TN eCampus. The online education offered through TN eCampus mirrors the same education offered at the physical campus locations. All campuses in the partnership are regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), while several programs have national accreditation status.
Students can be enrolled in TN eCampus and traditionally structured classes at the same time; however TN eCampus courses have an additional per-credit-hour fee in addition of Columbia State course fees. Courses are entirely online and are completely transferable among all the participating institutions. Many instructors are located at campuses across the state and may require you to take your mid-term and final exams at an approved proctor site, such as your home school's testing center.
All TN eCampus courses are accessed through D2L, a start-of-the-art, yet user-friendly online learning management system. Before the semester starts, take some time to become acquainted with D2L features and tools that you'll be using on a regular basis. Online learning requires that you possess certain skills, behavior, study habits, computer equipment and discipline in order to be successful.
For more information, visit www.tnecampus.org or contact our TN eCampus student liaison located in Warf 128 on the Columbia Campus 7:45 a.m. - 4:15 p.m. Monday - Friday or tnecampus@columbiastate.edu.
