You
Can Earn an Accredited Education Without
Having to Sit in a Single Class.
Advances in technology have made earning
your degree easier than ever before.
Through the power of the Internet,
you, a busy adult, can get the accredited
education you need to get ahead and
increase your earning power. You do
not have to sit through lectures in
classes. You do not have to commute,
park, arrange dependent care, and
attend scheduled classes. You set
the time, choose the place, and set
your own schedule. You are in charge
of your own education. |

| How We
Make Distance Education Work for You |
|
| 1 |
Faculty
and staff available. Rather
than limited “office hours”
and rigid class schedules, staff
and faculty are at your service
five days a week. Technical
staff can help you with browsers,
software applications, and other
difficulties; student advisors
can assist you with anything
and everything in order to help
you progress and succeed. You
can get more support and services
with online distance education
than with on-campus education. |

Online services
available 24/7. Our user-friendly,
award-winning website provides
you access to IU’s Student
Services. Rather than traveling
to classes and sitting for quizzes
and tests in the classroom,
you can take them online and
get your score immediately.
For any questions you miss,
the correct answer is given
so that you can immediately
learn as you take tests. Instead
of traveling to the registrar’s
office, you can register, review
your transcript, get your grades
or account status, and see other
information at your fingertips,
online. |

Online
library — Rather than
having to travel to the library,
park your car, and search for
books and reference materials,
you can connect to our vast
online library containing thousands
of books, thousands of Internet
references, and more. You can
use the Internet, e-mail, threaded
conversations, and other technology
to interact with fellow students
as you participate in group
and team activities. E-mail
and chat allow you to communicate
with your professors and with
fellow students. You gain a
deeper understanding of the
material and can exchange opinions
and ideas with people in the
same course(s). |

Study materials
available 24/7. Instead of attending
lectures, you walk step-by-step
through a course study guide.
The course study guide is your
own instructor in your own home,
office, etc. Study guides contain
learning objectives, learning
assignments, self-tests, and
unit exams. Depending upon the
courses you take, you will receive
textbooks, study guides, videotapes,
and audiotapes. Just as in any
traditional university, textbooks
are supplied and need to be
studied. |

|
|
| You are never alone |
|
|
|
| You study independently
but you are never alone. You have
access to online services, qualified
instructors, a student advisor, and
if needed, a tutor or study partner.
Many students team up as study partners
with other willing students in their
area or online. The best thing to
do is enroll with a friend, colleague,
or family member. Then you can study
together, providing mutual motivation
and support. |
