In order to enroll in an SOS course, you must be a degree-seeking student on the IU East campus.
You must obtain approval before registering. Contact Tom Avery at thavery@iue.edu. Please include your user ID number in your communications.
- You may register for a semester online self-study (SOS) course only if you are a degree-seeking student at IU East.
- You may register for no more than two SOS courses for the spring.
- Each course has a $65 administrative fee.
- The semester online self-study courses are not intended for students who are seeking a major or minor in the courses’ respective academic departments, but rather for students seeking elective credits in those departments or approved credits they can apply toward a degree in general studies.
- SOS courses are offered in an online format only, without meetings in regular classrooms. The content, textbooks, and assignments are as demanding as those found in a traditional classroom. You must understand how to manage your time in order to meet assignment and exam deadlines and to complete all course requirements before the end of the semester. Late submission of assignments and exams may delay the grading process and prevent you from finishing by semester’s end. Assignments submitted late are subject to the grade of “F” or “zero.”
- Exams are administered on campus by exam supervisors. If you know you will not be able to come to campus for the exams on the dates given, do not register.
- Assignment deadlines, exam dates, and textbook information are available in the course outlines below.
- The spring 2010 SOS courses open through Oncourse on January 19. No new students will be added after SOS courses open.
- Check the local IU East campus schedule for the refund and withdrawal schedule.
- Any assignment may be recorded as failing or zero if submitted late.
- Exams must be taken on campus and proctored on the date given in the syllabus.
