Upon acceptance to the University, students are enrolled in courses that are created and managed by faculty using an internet-based learning management system. These virtual classrooms are available for study and review whenever and wherever registered students have access to the internet. Students may access these classes wherever computers are available, e.g. at home, at work, or in a public library. They can learn the course materials on a twenty-four-hour, seven-day-per-week basis. In conjunction with traditional and nontraditional textbook materials, online courses provide students with many opportunities. Students can read or hear additional class notes provided by the teacher through an audio lecture format, link to other Web site resources like the Kentucky Virtual Library for research, complete assignments, take tests synchronously, and e-mail questions to teachers and receive answers virtually as well as engage classmates in dialogues through discussion board forums.

Students interested in enrolling in any of the above continuing and distance-education opportunities may access a copy of the current Schedule of Classes to review the course listings. This can be done either by viewing the Schedule of Classes via University website (www.kysu.edu) or by calling the Office of Continuing and Distance Education at (502) 597-5611 to receive the schedule directly.
