How do I know which credits will transfer to EOU online?

Your transcript team will help you determine which credits can transfer to EOU online. They will also take care of requesting and submitting your transcripts. You can also read more about transfer credits on the Transfer Pathways page.

How do online classes compare to in-person classes?

The biggest difference is that sometimes you will complete work in an asynchronous environment (classes and events happen on a delay) and sometimes you will work in a synchronous environment (classes and events happen immediately). In the asynchronous environment, instead of showing up to a classroom at a designated time and day, you will frequently check Canvas or other online platforms for materials shared by your professor. You can ask questions via Canvas or email; and similarly, you will submit work online and await grading online instead of receiving graded work in the classroom.

In a synchronous environment, you will have a scheduled, digital class meeting with live or immediate interactions. Be sure to take note of the type of online environment your individual professors will use, and adhere to all assignment deadlines.

How do you work with military students during deployments overseas?

We’ll work with you to provide the best resources, credit for military service, scholarships and benefits for spouses and dependents. Please reach out to us to find out more about the benefits available to military students at 855-805-5399.
