Thousands of students enroll in IUP online courses each year. Rather than listen to the professor, take notes, and join a discussion in a classroom, you will interact with everyone through your computer. Although every course is different, students are generally asked to read from a textbook, journal article, or webpage and respond to guide questions. You may be asked to comment on other students' responses. Research papers are sometimes assigned or you may be a member of a group project. With the exception of quizzes and exams, you may set your own schedule during the day or evening for the completion of assignments. Sometimes, exams must be completed online during a specific time period.
No. This is a separate session. You will earn credits and receive a grade before the spring semester begins.
