Getting Started
UNCG offers a number of options for online students. If you’re a traditional student who is curious about online learning, you can register to take an online class. However, UNCG also offers a number of degree and degree completion programs. The first steps to a successful academic career at UNCG include: deciding on a program, enrolling, and connecting with a student advisor.
Choosing A Program
Follow the link below for a full list of online undergraduate majors and graduate degrees by discipline offered at UNCG:
If you’re a traditional student but interested in taking an online class, you can search the online course catalog and look for courses designated as WEB in the “Course Type” field. If you are a true distance learning student you should register for the D section of the course (for example, BIO-105-01D). If you are a traditional student just taking a few online classes, you will likely register for the regular section (not the D section).
