Online Learning Guidebook for 2019-2020

Are online courses "work at your own pace"? The majority of online classes have deadlines and due dates, just like in-person classes. Online classes require a lot of self-discipline to stay on task and we recommend the use of scheduling tools to make sure students stay on task. How can I search for just online courses? You can search for online classes within MyCWU. In your student center, click “Search Classes”. Choose all the filters you want to apply. At the bottom of the page, instead of search, click “Search Web Classes Only”. View tutorial video. What are the tuition and fees for online programs? Official tuition and fee rates for the academic year (fall, winter, and spring) can be found on the Registrar Services site. Official tuition and fee rates for Summer Session can be found on the Summer Session website. Please visit our "Tuition and Fees for Online Students" page for a full explanation and additional links to helpful resources.

How do I know what the important dates of the quarter are? Academic calendars can be found on the Online Student Resource Center under “Helpful Links” or by visiting, https://www.cwu.edu/registrar/course-information

How do semester credits transfer to Central? Central is a quarter session school. Semester credits transfer to Central at a 1 to 1.5 ratio. For example, if you are transferring in a 4 credit semester course, you would be awarded 6 quarter credits (4 x 1.5=6).

Will I be able to attend a commencement ceremony after getting my online degree? Yes, online students who apply for graduation are eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony.
