I don't know about the lot of discipline part because I have very little. But I think if you find the topic interesting, you don't necessarily need to have any more discipline than for an on campus course. You'll actually find the course interesting and won't be avoidant about engaging with it. Self discipline doesn't have to be a driving factor in that case.
Anyway, I hope you are accepted and are able to get a spot in the sociology class.

Thanks! My reason for an online course is because I'm too afraid to be in a classroom. I'm overweight and nearsighted, so I feel like I'll be blocking the poor people behind me. And then when I was at the college, they had those stupid individual desks, which I know I won't be able to fit into at this point. So if they still have those desks, I'll be assigned a special normal table to sit at. Just all in all embarrassing. I'll never be able to concentrate!
I've taken two self-paced/online courses in the past: computers and algebra. Both are easy subjects for me. I have so many classes "under my belt". I think I'm only missing the 4 I mentioned above in order to get an AA in psychology. After I get that, I might go after child development. That would be nice to have. Then I could work with children.
I'm hoping sociology will be a good class for me.
