A full-time life demands education that fits your schedule. OHIO knows learning doesn’t occur only in campus buildings–it can happen wherever students are! eLearning options help to make that possibility a reality. eCampus links students to an Ohio University education that works for them–it extends Ohio University quality education beyond the bricks.
OHIO offers multiple learning options for traditional and nontraditional students, including those who may not be able to come to an Ohio University campus. Formats include online, print-based, and independent learning options that help students to integrate life, work, and learning into busy schedules.
eLearning opportunities are available through eCampus, which is administered by eLearning OHIO.

Learning formats available
Online Learning
Online classes deliver dynamic, hands-on instruction to anywhere that a student has an Internet connection. Many of the courses offered face-to-face on an OHIO campus also are offered in a web-based format that includes a variety of learning and communication options. Students may elect to take one course or earn an entire degree online (see fully online degree programs below).
Print-Based Courses
Print-based courses are structured, independent learning options that are developed and graded by University faculty members, and presented in a printed course guide. Content is divided into lessons, and assignments are submitted at the end of each lesson. Students and faculty participate in a dialog that may be conducted by postal mail, fax, or email. Supervised examinations are generally required and may be arranged at locations near the student’s location.
Independent Learning Options
www.ohio.edu/ecampus/future/other_enrollment.htm
Independent learning may be an option available on request; each request is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if the option is appropriate to meet the student’s goals. Examples of independent learning options include:
- Portfolio-based assessment which helps qualified adults document and receive credit for learning that has occurred through employment or volunteer activities;
- Course credit by examination in which students enroll in a course and receive a brief syllabus that describes the nature of the course, the textbooks, and other materials to study, and the type of examination–students prepare for the examination without assistance from a faculty member;
- Independent study projects which are contingent upon the approval of the department in which the course is offered and the availability of a qualified faculty member willing to direct the project. Independent study students and faculty members agree upon the conditions that must be fulfilled for credit to be awarded. The work may include a variety of readings, papers, projects, and examinations. This option is most successfully used by experienced students.

Fully Online
The online degree completion option maximizes the transfer of credits earned during the course of an associate degree and provides options for students to complete some courses through their community college while earning an Ohio University bachelor’s degree online, or finish all courses online from OHIO. Often referred to as community college partners because community colleges across Ohio collaborate with Ohio University in streamlining transfer into the program, this option is not only for those students attending partner colleges. Any student with an associate degree, who meets program application requirements, may apply to the online completion degree. The following degree programs are currently offered:
Flexible Delivery
The following degree programs are offered in a flexible format that may include a combination of online courses, correspondence courses, or independent learning courses (see above).
