Online Readiness Assessment

Welcome to your ORA-Online Readiness Assessment

Taking courses online offers incredible flexibility, allowing you to learn on your own schedule from anywhere in the world. However, learning in an asynchronous digital environment requires a different set of habits, technical skills, and time management strategies than traditional face-to-face classes.

This short, self-paced assessment is designed to help you discover your personal strengths and identify areas where you might need a bit of extra support as you begin your online academic journey.

It is vital to understand that this quiz is entirely prescriptive, not punitive. * This is not an entrance exam. Your score will never be used to restrict you from enrolling in online courses, and it does not affect your GPA. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers—only honest reflections of your current habits. Once you complete the quiz, you’ll see prescriptive information to help you locate resources that will support you in your online learning journey. Be sure to save the results page to review later and to provide to your professors if they request it.

Think of this assessment as a compass. Its only goal is to show you exactly where you are standing right now so we can give you the precise tools, tutoring, and institutional support you need to cross the finish line successfully.

The quiz takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. When you are ready, click Take ORA Now to begin.
