Common Questions:
- Is this part of ASUOnline?
- No, this is the same immersive program as the on-ground program and students will have the same classes, assignments, tests, and requirements. The program costs will remain the same as the on-ground program.
- What does virtual simulcast mean?
- Courses will be provided virtually via Zoom and in real-time, such that students have an immersive experience with the instructor and the on-ground students. This allows students located outside of Tempe, AZ to enroll in the program.
- What are some of the benefits of a virtual simulcast option?
- Many individuals interested in graduate programs don’t have the resources to quit their jobs to attend a graduate training program in person. This option provides students with the opportunity to harness the many perks of the on-campus program (e.g., program rigor, high-level instruction/training, a sense of comradery with peers) while maintaining employment and/or not having to move.
- Do I need to attend classes as they are occurring or can I view the class at a later time/date?
- Unless given approval from the instructor of record, all students are expected to participate in the live class. Attendance is reported and important for overall success in the program.
- Does the virtual simulcast option meet the BACB 5th Edition requirements as a Verified Course Sequence (VCS)?
- Yes
- Are there specific technical/equipment requirements I need to participate?
- Laptop or desktop computer with reliable internet access, a microphone, and camera; Zoom capability
- What happens if I my internet becomes unstable or stops working altogether during a class?
- All classes will be recorded, and requests for access to recordings will be determined on case-by-case basis.
