ONLINE COURSE OPTIONS

Family of Faith College is excited to be a member of the Knowledge Elements Educational Network (KEEN) through which the college is able to offer a large number of online courses.  Credits earned through these online courses are considered the same as if you took them at the FFC campus.  If you are interested in taking an online course, please follow the procedures below.

4. Register for the courses with the Registrar and arrange payment.  Tuition at FFC is $165.00 per credit hour.  Online courses are three credit hours each.  There is an additional fee of $100.00 per online course fee.  Thus, the total, per online course, will be $595.00.  If these courses contribute toward the completion of a degree program at Family of Faith College, there may be eligibility for federal financial aid.  To determine this, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Paper copies of the FAFSA may be obtained from the Financial Aid office at FFC, or it can be filled out via the internet at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.

Students must have access to a computer with an Internet connection and an active e-mail address. The speed of the computer, the speed of the modem, and the quality of the internet connection are also significant.
