Online Learning 101


Welcome to Online Learning 101, an introduction to learning online! We’re happy that you are exploring online classes with a University of North Carolina member school. Whether you’re taking a single class or a whole online program, you can expect a challenging and rewarding academic experience. To help you on your way to success, we’ve developed a series of modules that will help you understand what it means to be an online student.

Online Learning 101 is divided into two sections: Prospective Students and Enrolled Students. The Prospective Students modules are geared towards students who are exploring online courses, but are not currently enrolled at one of the UNC System’s 17 campuses and need to know a little more before making a commitment. The Enrolled Students section is designed for anyone enrolled at one of the UNC System’s 17 campuses who has not already taken an online course and is interested in learning more about what taking an online course entails.

If you are interested in taking an online course, but are not currently enrolled at a UNC institution, click the “Prospective Students” button below to complete a pre-assessment and find out more about online learning. If you are currently enrolled at one of the UNC System’s 17 campuses click the “Enrolled Students” button below to begin your orientation to learning online.
