Program
offers valuable pre-college experience
The UD
Online High School Partnership Program enables high schools
to offer qualified students the valuable opportunity of earning
college credits through distance learning courses during their
junior and senior years. This program has been designed to
eliminate scheduling conflicts with students' regular high
school curriculum, and to provide an attainable, affordable
pre-college experience for motivated students. We believe
this progressive program will also be a valuable academic
asset in the recruitment and retention efforts of participating
high schools.
Students
take University of Delaware courses at their high school or
home via the Web. UD Online courses follow the regular fall,
spring, and summer semester schedules. Successful completion
of a course enables students to earn transferable college
credit, and to gain valuable insight into the requirements
of college level study while still in high school.
Students learn to use cutting edge technology and
electronic resources
The University
of Delaware is a national leader in the field of distance
learning, with numerous awards recognizing its "Electronic
Campus" and achievements in technology and distance learning.
This unique high school program won an award in 2004 from
the regional University Continuing Education Association in
the category Program for Special Populations.
UD Online
courses are regular University credit courses, and are listed
on a college transcript with no distinction from traditional
on-campus courses; only the delivery format is different.
Approved courses do not conflict with advance placement classes;
therefore, students can earn college credits in addition to
their potential AP college credits. High school students enrolled
in these options have their studies, participation, and exams
facilitated by a coordinator within their high school and
maintain communication with the University of Delaware professor
via e-mail, office hours, and Web postings. The University
of Delaware faculty teaching UD Online courses are among the
best in their fields, and many of them have had previous experience
teaching secondary school students in other forums.
