Classes run continuously, rather than in semesters. Typically, you take one course at a time and move on to the next course without a break. Opportunities to enroll and begin a course sequence in a degree program are available frequently.

Is University of the Rockies an accredited school?
University of the Rockies is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (www.ncahlc.org). Regional accreditation is important to anyone seeking a degree, because it serves as the recognized standard used to identify quality in American higher education.

How do University of the Rockies' online classes work?
As an online student with University of the Rockies, your online classes take place in Blackboard, the University's online platform. Blackboard is an asynchronous environment, meaning that you can log in at any time at your convenience. You will communicate with your instructor and fellow students, read some assigned texts, post your assignments and comment on other students' assignments all through the Blackboard environment.

How many times do I need to log in to my online class?
Log in at least two separate times each week to meet University of the Rockies' minimum attendance requirement for each online class.

Do I have to log in at a specific time?
No, you get to choose when and where to log in, which allows you to fit your degree program into your busy schedule. Your online classroom takes place in an asynchronous environment, which means that all students are free to participate at their own pace, so long as they log in at least 2 times per week, and on separate days.

What assistance does University of the Rockies offer to students who need extra academic support?
If you are like most online students, then you are probably a working adult, and maybe it has been some time since you took a college-level class. Have no fear! University of the Rockies' online degree programs are specifically designed for adult learners. You will have your own personal Academic Advisor who will support you through the entire process, and to whom you can direct your questions. You will find your instructors very understanding, supportive, and easy to contact.

Is it true that I can get a degree for free?
Not at all. There is no such thing as a university education that is free of charge. Almost all students choose to apply for student loans, which do have to be re-paid. The idea that you can go to a graduate institution for free is a persistent misconception. Some students receive small grants and scholarships, but these are relatively rare and almost never cover the full cost of tuition.

Do I qualify for Financial Aid?
You will partner with a Financial Services Advisor to determine whether you can benefit from the various Financial Aid options offered. Financial Aid programs include the Federal Stafford Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized), Graduate PLUS Loans, Private Loans, Veterans Educational Benefits, and Military Tuition Assistance.
