So 2 weeks ago I decide "Hey instead of going to a B&M College, why don't I see if there are any schools that offer a BA in History online" Not thinking I was going to find anything -

So far there has been no mix-ups  that could not be rectified in one quick phone call - Everyone there has been extremely helpful -

Now I just need to get my self all set up -  Besides my computer what other supplies are recommended? Same as B&M schools?

Thanks

Have a backup computer - a friend, work, a library, a community college, etc.

You are totally dependent on your computer for your online education, and sooner or later that computer will crash.

I'd say you need fewer supplies, in that you don't need a printer for your papers since you're submitting them online.  Jay's right that you need a plan for in case your computer crashes, but these days that would probably be true if you going to class on campus too.
