Can I take more than one online course at a time?

Of course. Keep in mind that the average time spent on an online class is similar to the time spent in a traditional face-to-face class. For a one-credit course you will need to spend about 15 hours to complete the required work. If you don’t think you will have time, the course you want will most likely be offered at another time during the year.

What are the policies for adding, dropping or withdrawing from an online class?

Generally, students may add a class within the first week of the term. For the Online Learning for Educators, students may do so by completing a paper registration form (PDF document). After one week, students must get instructor approval before adding the course. Registration after the first day of class will result in a $25 late registration fee.

For additional information on adding, dropping or withdrawing from courses, visit the Registrar's web site at http://www.uwrf.edu/registrar/2adddrop.htm.

For refund policies, visit the Accounts Receivable web site at http://www.uwrf.edu/accounts-receive/2Fee_Payment_Information.htm#refunds .
