How to register and access a course?

Students are enrolled as Non-Degree Students. This simply means you are not presently interested in seeking a graduate degree (MS or PhD) , and do not need to formally apply and be admitted to the Graduate School meeting all eligibility criteria. However, all four courses taken in a non-degree status, may be applied to the graduate degree at a later date, if you are interested, apply, and are admitted as a Degree-Seeking Student (B or better grade required). Please see the FAQ for more information.  Please also see the link for how to obtain the MS degree online.

Once registered, you will be provided with an ODU Student E-Mail Account to access the video stream for your class. Go to the ODU Student E-Mail web page for more information. This Student E-Mail Account is also needed to access the Blackboard course system that will be used for homework submittals and all communication needs in each class.

How do the logistics work for questions, homework, and examinations?

Some graduate students sit in the TV classroom on the ODU campus. Voice and pictures for all to view are provided. Some students are located at Satellite Campus Centers around the State of Virginia. Only voice communication is provided for these student's questions. Students on the Internet type in questions that appear on the instructor screen for immediate response. This is a fully synchronous course with continuous, live interaction with all internet students during the lectures. This is not a course with only video conferencing. Homework is assigned on Blackboard. The TELETECHNET Center at the university provides a courier service for Satellite Centers. Internet students submit homework via Blackboard. Homework is graded and discussed via Blackboard for Internet students. Proctors are necessary for Internet student examinations and some additional costs may be incurred for return of the two examinations (mid-term, final) each semester. All lectures are digitally taped for viewing at a later time, at your convenience for all students registered for the course.
