Online Learning

If you are a student who traditionally takes on-campus courses but taking classes remotely during the Autumn Quarter due to University operations under COVID-19, please visit this page. This page is for you whether you typically take classes online, are completing your degree online or are interested in doing so in future quarters.

There will be no in-person proctored exams during the fall term. Two options available for online test-taking are Examity and Respondus Lock/Down. Both online proctoring solutions are fully integrated into D2L and ensure academic integrity during exams taken online. Both allow for flexibility in the time and location of proctored exams.

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.
