Modes of Delivery

The majority of courses offered through Distance Learning are in an online format using Learn@UW-Superior, the university's online learning environment. You'll access your courses by logging on to Learn@UW-Superior from the university's website, www.uwsuper.edu.

A limited number of courses are offered in a print format. The learning manuals for print courses are also made available through Learn@UW-Superior.

Courses in Special Education and Reading are offered through instructional television (ITV) to selected locations in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Distance Learning students may also take Special Topics courses, arranged through an agreement with an instructor. These courses can be designed to explore topics appropriate to your academic program and not included in regular coursework.

Registering for Courses

You'll register for courses using the E-Hive, linked from the UW-Superior website at www.uwsuper.edu. Prior to registration, an advisement conference with your advisor will prepare you to register. Following that conference, your advisor will remove your advisement hold to authorize you to register.

Course listings for each term are available in the university's website. You'll find Distance Learning courses listed at the end of the course schedule.

Distance Learning course sections are coded E1 in the E-Hive. Be sure to select courses with this code.

Obtaining Books and Materials

The UW-Superior Bookstore can supply your textbooks. Order online at www.uwsuper.edu/bookstore. Many of your course video/audio resources will be online in Learn@UW-Superior. In some cases, videos or other materials will be sent to you by mail from the Distance Learning Center, and returned the same way.

Library Resources

Jim Dan Hill Library has a website for Distance Learning students: http://library.uwsuper.edu/distancelearning.html. Here you'll find information on finding and requesting library resources to be sent to you. Bookmark this site and use it often!

If you live near another University of Wisconsin campus, your UW-Superior Student ID card can be used as a library card at any campus in the UW System.

Course Exams

Many exams are offered online through Learn@UW-Superior. Depending on your instructor's preference, these may need to be taken at a location where a proctor can observe you. Paper exams are sent to a proctor in your community who will administer them to you.
