Online Courses
CIU offers online courses at both the undergradu-
ate and graduate level. These courses are
designed to serve students at a distance; howev-
er, resident students may also register for them to
alleviate schedule conflicts and/or to accelerate
progress toward graduation. Students may begin
undergraduate online courses once registration
opens, even though the start of the semester may
be several months away. Up to 49 percent of a
degree may be completed through online cours-
es. Current resident students seeking to enroll in
online courses must meet the same qualifications
as a Faculty Directed Study (FDS) or petition for
authorization. Additional information can be found
in the Academic Life section of this catalog. A
rotation of online courses is offered in the Fall,
Spring and Summer semesters. Typically, a stu-
dent must invest 10 hours per week in a Fall or
Spring online course and 15-20 hours per week in
a Summer online course to complete the course
satisfactorily. Work not completed in a timely
fashion during a student’s final semester may
delay the student’s graduation date and/or receipt
of a diploma and final transcript. Syllabi, registra-
tion deadlines and additional information about
online courses can be found at
