How does my course work?
We know you are busy, so we have made things very simple.
Students are emailed the textbook and assessments then they simply study at their own pace, take notes, and complete the assignment questions at their own pace, then finally email their answers on word/PDF doc with their name & student number to:
submitexam<at>australiaonlinecourses.com (replace <at> with @ when emailing)
Please note that all online courses are done via email, not through a student portal.
There are no course files in the student portals because we prefer to run the course via emails of PDF or word docs.
This way students can still send and receive data even if the website is closed for periodic maintenance.
