Orange Lutheran Online

Because of the independent nature of online courses, students who are organized, have good time management skills, and are self-motivated learners seem to be the most successful online learners. Online learners should also be able to self-advocate and ask for support from their teacher and/or advisor.

No, students do not have to login at a certain time. Students can login throughout the day as they have free time or a free period; however, there are specific due dates. Students are required to turn in their homework by midnight on the due date in order to be counted as on time.

Students are welcome to work ahead, but expected to be present in the class by participating every week. Our attendance policy states the following: Students must post something (either a Discussion Question, DQ response, or post an assignment) on a minimum of two separate days of the week to meet the minimum attendance requirement. However, to be successful in online classes, students should plan to log in and post on four to five days out of the week in order to not fall behind.

Yes, each class has a teacher who facilitates the classroom, makes weekly announcements, grades student work, provides feedback and sends weekly evaluations to the student and parents. Each teacher sets an office hour Monday-Friday in which they are available for the students to call or email. Students can reach out to their teachers at any time or day. Each student is also assigned an academic advisor who works on OLu's campus who serves as another line of support for the students. Tech Support is also available, and can be contacted by phone, support ticket, email or in-person on campus.
