 HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
Enrolled students can do their class work any hour of the day or
night, when it best fits their schedules. Even though this allows
flexibility, it requires discipline and does not allow students
to "coast." Students are expected to devote an average
of fifteen to twenty hours a week to their studies.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM STUDY HABITS
The Hampton University Religious Study program is a full academic
program that requires the same academic discipline as students
in residence. In fact, online courses may require more study discipline.
A 3-credit hour course is equivalent to 3 one-hour lectures per
week with another 3 hours of individual study and class assignments
per week. As a general guide, students should expect to devote
about 6 hours per week for each 3-hour course, i.e., about an hour
a day, Monday through Saturday, with Sunday for a brief review
of the past week's course. Students who work steadily for an hour-or-so
each day on each 3-hour course, should have no difficulty learning
the material and passing a course with a good grade. Students who
make a habit of leaving the week's work for an overnighter should
not expect to do well.
BLACKBOARD
 After you have been accepted as a student in the program and have
registered for classes, you will be able to access through Blackboard
the syllabus and all of the materials needed to complete a course.
The instructor may post lectures or elaborate on the material,
and provide discussion questions related to the topic. You will
work on the assignments on your own just as you would in a traditional
classroom setting. You may interact with other students and the
professor through chat room discussions. When assignments are
due, you will send them to your instructor online. Your instructor
will evaluate them and return them to you with comments.

SECOND BACCALAUREATE DEGREE
The University will permit a student to acquire a second baccalaureate
degree, provided that he or she pursues an unrelated course of
study and meets all University, college, school, and departmental
requirements.
