Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between classes offered on the main campus and those offered off-campus?
A: The only difference is the location. Off-campus courses follow the same guidelines as those offered on our main campus. They are taught by the same departmental faculty and carry the same number of credits as they would on the main campus. Faculty office hours are available before or after class, depending on the site and time of day.

Q: How do I register for off-campus courses?
A: The same way that you would for any other course. If you are a matriculated student you should contact the advisement office for your program. If you are a non-matriculated student you can register by-advisement, in-person, phone or online.

Q: Will credits taken at an off-campus site appear on my transcript?
A: Yes. Classes taken off-campus will appear on your transcript in the same way that any class taken on our main campus would.
