Schedule FAQ
- You are not required to come to campus for distance education courses, except for some exams. Exam accommodations can be made if you are out of state.
- Distance education tuition varies depending on the session in which the course is taken. Check the University Cashier’s Office website for pricing: http://treasurer.ofb.ncsu.edu/cashier/.
- Distance education courses meet curriculum requirements the same as regular courses.
- Some on-campus courses are listed as “internet” courses. These ARE NOT distance education courses; they are regular courses that will be administered online. They will be billed as regular courses.
- If you are an on-campus graduate student, you may NOT take distance courses in the Fall or Spring semesters, but may take one in the Summer semester. You must set up an online account in order to register. For assistance, contact the OR Program Coordinator Linda Smith at lcsmith2@ncsu.edu.
