Are online learning courses accredited, and will they transfer to other institutions?
Yes, UW-Superior courses are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Each course offered through the Online Learning Program has the same learning outcomes as the traditional classroom course. The courses transfer in the same way as classroom courses.
How long do I have to complete my online learning courses?
Most Online Learning courses are on a semester basis (e.g., fall semester, spring semester and summer session), with the exception of the Business Administration, Management emphasis major and the graduate Education program. Check the dates of each term by going to the University’s Academic Calendar. Courses must be completed by the end of the term in which they are offered.
How do I take exams in my Online Learning course?
Online exams are typically hosted through Canvas. Some courses, such as ECON 250, use a supplemental program where quizzes are taken. To the best of my knowledge, quizzes and exams done in the supplemental programs are not proctored. If the instructor requires a proctored exam, they will use Honorlock.
How do I submit online learning assignments?
As an online student, do I have to come to campus?
Admission and registration procedures, text ordering, etc., can be completed without coming to campus. The majority of coursework can be completed without coming to campus, including all requirements for Interdisciplinary Studies Majors.
Elementary Education majors pursuing the Early Childhood Minor must take three Saturday seminars which are offered in Superior, and are sometimes available from other universities which may be geographically more convenient.
How do I get my books and materials?
After you’ve enrolled for your courses, you can order your books and materials from the University Bookstore.
How do I communicate with instructors?
Most instructors prefer email for communication about their classes. Some may indicate a preference for phone communication, or the “Inbox” communication tool within Canvas. Click here for instructions on Canvas Inbox.
