BEFORE YOU ASK US

How Arizona State University actually runs.

Can I move between online and in-person sections?

Not freely, because online degree programs and campus programs are administered separately and admission is usually to one or the other. Individual course arrangements sometimes exist. Treat it as a question for your advisor before enrolling rather than an option you can exercise later, since changing route can mean changing program.

When is the deadline to drop without a transcript entry?

Early, and in a seven-and-a-half-week session it arrives within the first fortnight. There are normally two separate dates, one for dropping cleanly and a later one for withdrawing with a mark recorded. Find both on the academic calendar in the first week rather than looking them up when you need them.

Does an online degree appear differently on the credential?

The university's position has been that its online degrees carry the same accreditation and are awarded by the same faculty, and it has not distinguished them on the award itself. Conventions can be revised, so confirm the current position with an advisor before making a decision that depends on it.

What do I need for a proctored exam at home?

A working webcam and microphone, a stable connection, government identification and a room you can clear and show on camera. Test the software days ahead rather than minutes ahead, because the failures are nearly always equipment or permissions rather than the exam itself, and support is far easier to reach in advance.

How much contact is there with instructors?

More than students expect, though it is initiated rather than automatic. Office hours, discussion participation and direct email all exist and the ones who use them get noticeably more from the course. In an asynchronous format, silence is read as everything being fine, so a question asked early is worth several sent in week seven.
