Administrative Support
The Office of Distance Education provides administrative services and support to students enrolled in distance education programs. A program manager is assigned to each program cohort to insure that students are properly oriented to university procedures, services, and requirements. They also serve as the initial point of contact for many non-instruction related issues and concerns. In addition to these roles, undergraduate PMs provide academic guidance.
The university provides many other services and types of support for its distance education students, including the official student ID card (the AppCard), disability services, the bookstore, the Career Center and much more. A comprehensive list of clickable links is provided below.
