E-learning
UAF’s eCampus offers an alternative for anyone preferring an online educational option. The advantage of online learning is its flexibility. Students select their own hours of study and work in the surroundings they choose. E-learning offers the freedom to structure a personal academic schedule and the flexibility to continue educational progress, even when it is impossible or challenging to attend scheduled, face-to-face classes.
UAF eCampus offers more than 500 asynchronous courses in 60 disciplines and offers full degrees and certificates completely online. eCampus courses follow all university calendars and deadlines and must be completed within the semester time frame. These courses use a learning management system (typically Canvas). Students are required to have reliable Internet access to complete eCampus courses and may be required to have quizzes or exams proctored.
For UAF students, eCampus courses count as residence credit. All students can enroll in eCampus courses via UAOnline. When a student enrolls in an eCampus course, the course may be used to determine full-time/part-time status and eligibility for financial aid and scholastic action. The grade will average in both semester and cumulative GPAs.
Information on course offerings, online certificates and degrees, enrollment information and course descriptions can be found at the eCampus website.
