Online-Only Status
Students enrolled only in online courses may opt into online-only status for the purpose of waiving the immunization and health insurance requirements as well as certain campus-based tuition/fee charges.

Switching to online-only status also affects eligibility for certain scholarships. Contact the for information on particular scholarships, loans, or grants.

Summer Semester 2025: May 19
Autumn Semester 2025: TBD

Payment deadlines are posted on the Student Accounts website.
