Application Deadline Nears for Students Using Financial Aid for Self-Paced Online Courses
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — University of Arkansas students who
plan to use scholarships and/or financial aid funding to pay for Fall 2014
self-paced online courses that begin Aug. 25 may submit enrollment requests now
through Friday, August 8.
These courses are offered through the U of A Global Campus.
Details about how to request enrollment are available here
or by calling 479-575-3647.
Colleges and schools at the university offer college credit
through these self-paced online correspondence courses. A student must be
enrolled in six university credit hours that are not self-paced online
correspondence courses before he or she can enroll in self-paced online
correspondence courses using scholarship and financial aid funds. Submitting a
request for enrollment in a self-paced course does not guarantee successful
enrollment in the requested course.
Self-paced courses offer the most flexibility of any
university credit course, while meeting the same academic standards as
face-to-face or traditional online courses. Self-paced courses allow students
to set their own learning tempos, rather than following structured learning
environments led by faculty or instructors. Students should consult with an
academic adviser regarding course selection to ensure courses will count toward
their degree requirements.
The Global
Campus also supports colleges and schools in the development
and delivery of distance education offerings, including degree programs that
are completely or primarily online. The Global Campus provides instructional
design services, technology services, access to national distance education
organizations, and assistance with marketing and strategic academic
development.
