Course Guidelines
Active students in matriculated on-ground degree programs are not permitted to register for courses through this platform and should use Compass for course registration.
Current or past UNE students with financial and/or administrative holds on their accounts are not permitted to register for courses until the hold(s) have been resolved.
Graduate Coursework
Courses numbered 500 and above are graduate-level courses, designed for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree. Successful completion of these courses does not guarantee admission into a UNE graduate program. In order to earn a graduate degree from UNE, a student must be enrolled in a graduate program.
Undergraduate Courses
Self-Paced Courses: Students progress through course material at their own pace within the 16-week course period. Course content is released sequentially as students complete and submit required coursework, allowing students to move through the course at a pace that works for them.
Due-Date Driven Courses: Shorter, accelerated course options follow a structured weekly schedule. Students complete assignments and participate in required discussions according to established due dates, with new course material released each week.
Prerequisite Requirement
Some courses require you to complete other courses first. These are called prerequisites and are listed on each course’s description page. Before you register, make sure you have completed or are currently enrolled in any required prerequisites.
Course Format & Academic Engagement
UNE Online courses may be offered in different formats and lengths. Depending on the course, students may experience accelerated coursework with regular weekly deadlines, longer structured courses, or flexible/self-paced course formats.
Before registering, review the individual course description, course length, expectations, and schedule to ensure the format is appropriate for you.
Students are responsible for actively participating in their courses and completing required coursework according to the deadlines and academic engagement expectations established for each course.
Time Commitment: Online courses require a significant time commitment. The amount of time required each week varies depending on the number of credits, course length, subject matter, and individual student.
Accelerated courses require students to complete the same or comparable academic work within a shorter period of time and may therefore require a substantial weekly commitment.
Students should review the individual course description and syllabus for course-specific expectations before enrolling.
Minimum Technology Requirements: Students must have access to a computer that is 5 years old or newer and Internet speed of 10 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload (recommend 50+ Mbps download and 10+ Mbps upload). Students must have basic computer skills, including file management, system updates, productivity software use, internet navigation, and email communication with attachments and file transfers.
