Can I take online classes at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ without being a Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Online student?

Yes. Online is an instructional mode at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½, just like face-to-face or mixed, and many programs give you the option of taking some or most courses virtually. There are lots of traditional students who take a combination of classroom-based courses and online or mixed, and you will find both Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Online students and campus students in the same online classes with the same faculty. However, for the Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Online student, there is only one mode of instruction – online. If you are interested in campus life or student housing, you should not enroll in Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Online, and you can still take as many online classes as you like (campus-based fees will be assessed). Students can opt-out of Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Online by contacting their Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Online connect center coach.
