Online Learning

If you are a student who traditionally takes in person courses but are taking classes remotely during the Spring Quarter due to University operations under COVID-19, please visit this page for information. If you typically take classes online/are completing your degree online, or are interested in doing so in future quarters, this page is for you. However, please note the following measures are being taken at CDM until further notice in order to reduce the spread of the virus:

Effective Monday, March 30, the College is ceasing face-to-face instruction for the remainder of the spring quarter. All campus buildings are closed until further notice.
Exam proctoring is now planned through D2L with a software application called Respondus.

Online classes are an excellent option for students who want a flexible schedule or do not live in the Chicagoland area. Course materials can be accessed through the Web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The College of Computing and Digital Media's (CDM) online students complete the same weekly assignments and projects as on-campus students.
