Frequently Asked Questions

It’s just like what you have heard about universities. You will study, have assignments, projects, tests, research papers, discussions on relevant subjects, and interact with other online students. In short, you will be challenged to learn everything you can in a relatively short period of time.  The pace is quick, intense and fun. You will meet other individuals like yourself wanting to learn. You will learn to apply and use what is taught in our classes because we deal with relevant content. You will learn how to think strategically, critically and make decisions in order to succeed and add value to yourself and to your employer. This is what to expect at V³ College.

We believe that you are our client, not our student. This means our relationship is based on mutual respect and expectations that will last for many years to come.

V³ College, through Mississippi University for Women, is approved by the U.S. Department of Education to offer federal financial aid. Because of our speed to graduation, V³ students have the ability to graduate with minimal school debt to repay upon graduation.

• Tuition and Fees
• Textbooks
• Technology
• Other educational expenses

Corporations, Municipalities and County Governments offer tuition reimbursement programs in which the Corporations, Municipalities and County Governments will reimburse you for your tuition, fees and books provided you make a minimum grade which is established by your particular employer.

When you begin with us, you will notice a few things that make us different from the others. The first is the one-stop registration, advising and enrollment session. In this one-time session, you will be registered, advised and enrolled for classes for your entire program.  Yes, that’s right. You will receive your entire schedule for your entire program in one sitting. The programs are designed with your desire to complete your degree in 18 months. At the end of this one-time session, you walk away with an academic plan for your entire degree.

The Fant Memorial Library is available to MUW students 24 hours a day. Mississippi University for Women is part of a library consortium that offers card catalog access to over 10 library collections. The Fant Memorial Library offers access to full-text articles from academic journals, magazines, and newspapers through EBSCOHOST, Cochran, Lexis-Nexis and other subject content databases. Mississippi University for Women students may use the MUW Library catalog to locate books and determine journal availability. Once a student locates materials they want to use in their research, the student uses the Fant Memorial Library interlibrary loan service (ILL) to have materials delivered to their home.

We’ve considered the client in this decision, as well. Most of our “textbooks” are from the popular press. We will supply you with the ISBN numbers so you may either purchase your books through the MUW book store or you may purchase them through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders or any bookseller from which you feel comfortable purchasing a book. Look to your syllabi to locate the necessary information (ISBN, title and author). Our text books will be easy to purchase and we recommend you consider e-text versions of these books.

The adjustment to online learning is demanding and requires many of our clients to change the way they have studied in the past. To help you make this transition as smoothly as possible, we’ve found some solid advice:

Prioritize your life.  Identify the most important things in your life and execute accordingly. Upon entering V³, you will need to reorganize that list and put your education at the top. Remember, it is education that will allow you to get what you want out of life!

Become a Project Manager. What does that mean? It means that you are in charge of this project called your education.  A project has a limited life. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. The end is where you want to be – a graduate!

Plan your workload accordingly. Always check your schedule and ask yourself, am I on schedule? Am I on time? Am I on track? These questions will allow you to stay ahead of the game.

Time is King! There are only 24 hours in the day and you will need all 24. In fact, you will probably ask for an additional two hours in the day. Unfortunately, we have no way of getting you those extra two hours. You have a limited amount of time to accomplish the things you need to accomplish. This is why you plan and prioritize. Find ways to utilize every minute of every day. Utilize flash cards and any other study method you can to make the information your own.

Find a method to manage your time. Review your daily, weekly and monthly schedule. Find those blocks of time in which you can utilize to strengthen your skill sets, work your research projects, and study your materials.

It is important that you find a space in which you may immerse yourself – a quiet and positive atmosphere in which you can concentrate and relax while you study.

The student support wiki is a community of past and current clients created as a venue whereby the client, past and present, has the opportunity to solve problems, offer solutions, and have the opportunity to help drive V³ College.  We fully admit and are somewhat proud that learning the V³ way is a bit different from the rest of the online universities. This is a world of performance, expectations and accountability. This wiki is for the client to express pride, frustrations and solutions to other clients. It is a place to come together to help evolve V³ from where we are today to where we want to be tomorrow. It is a unique opportunity for the client to have a voice in the future of their university. This wiki will allow you to offer support and encouragement regarding what you found works/did not work during your V³ College experience. The wiki was not created by V³ College staff or faculty. It is a resource for students created by students.

Only enrolled students of V³ College may contribute.

The great advantage to online education is the flexibility and convenience. We know you have no control over your work schedule, which is why, when we offer courses, you will know well in advance your schedule. You will also have the flexibility to access your courses 24/7/365 at your convenience.

Our online teaching style is referred to as 3D Engagement. This form of engagement embraces the individual learning styles of the client by stimulating the imagination, emotions, senses, and intellect by wholly immersing the client in uniquely shaped and communicated content via appropriate digital media for the expressed intent of transforming the client into an active learner.
