Online courses are offered via the Internet. The minimum requirement for students to participate in an online course is access to a computer, the Internet, and motivation to succeed in a non-traditional “classroom”. Online courses provide a convenient method of course delivery. The ability to access a course from a home computer via the Internet, 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a tremendous opportunity for adults to reach their academic and career goals! The School of Continuing Education provides both credit and non-credit options:
Access to the Internet is the student's responsibility, not the responsibility of Eastern Illinois University.
Specific software may be required; contact the instructor prior to registration.
At the instructor's discretion, you may be required to be present for the midterm and/or final examination, or arrangements could be made for the test to be proctored.
All technology delivered courses require registration a minimum of seven days prior to the first day of class.
Students will not receive written notification for these classes.
All instructions for technology delivered classes are posted on this off campus web site.
