Distance Learning Courses
 The University of Oklahoma offers graduate courses in several distance learning formats as an alternative to completing your degree in a classroom setting.
- Online courses* – instructor-led courses conducted online within a specified time period. These courses are coded under “Site” as “OL” on the semester schedules.
- Independent Directed Readings – courses and assignments pre-arranged by special permission for independent study by the student.
- Independent Study courses – Pre-designed, specific topic, independent study courses for students unable to attend a regular class session. No special permission to enroll is required.

Online Orientation:
-
All students enrolled in online courses will be required to take an online orientation.It is set up as a separate course on Desire2Learn (http://learn.ou.edu) and takes students approximately two hours to complete.
-
Even if students have completed the orientation in a previous semester, we require them to complete the student survey and a short declaration (indicating their earlier completion of the orientation) each semester.
