Most faculty have adapted their courses so that you can complete exercises online, send written papers via e-mail and even take exams online. In a few cases a professor may use proctored sit-down exams. The process for identifying a proctor in your community can be found here and you must complete this process during the first week of the semester. Any online course which requires proctored exams will be so marked in the list of courses. Some universities have online courses that are like correspondence courses in that the student has a year to complete the work and works independently.
Flexibility is built into online courses.
You will need to e-mail individual assignments on time. You will need to add to discussions and reply to other students' comments. The UW Colleges is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It is important, however, that you assure that the courses you take at a UWC campus will not only transfer for credit but will also fulfill the requirements of your specific program. Research carefully the specific requirements of your intended transfer institution.
