- Flexibility of participation means that you can take the course at your own pace.

- Online courses allow you to develop your technical skills.
- There's often a wider range of networking opportunities compared with on-site programs.
How It Works
Through Chatham’s online learning management system (LMS), Brightspace by D2L, students participate in interactive class activities and discussions held asynchronously in an online environment. The platform enables students to demonstrate knowledge gained through activities, as well as submit assignments and papers electronically. Throughout the course, grades and feedback from the instructor will be available through the grade book. Instructors often hold virtual office hours in which questions from students can be addressed.
The Office of Academic and Accessibility Resources
The Office of Academic and Accessibility Resources (OAAR) assists students with their academic and disability support needs. Services are available for the entire Chatham student population. OAAR’s academic support includes peer tutoring and supplemental instruction; writing support; and academic coaching.
