specialized services and opportunities that go beyond the classroom. We can ease your transition into civilian life
and help you reach your goals. Veteran’s resources at the University of North Texas can be found at
http://www.unt.edu/veterans/ or call them at 940-369-8021.

Online and Blended Learning at UNT: Online courses are regular university courses in which a majority of the
classroom instruction is replaced with instruction in a Web-based learning environment. In an online course, you
login to a virtual classroom (http://learn.unt.edu) to complete lessons and other activities your instructor has
developed. Communications with your instructor and classmates take place using a combination of email, textbased discussion forums, and live text or voice-based chats. Assessments and assignments are also generally
completed and submitted in the virtual classroom. Not all online courses take place 100% in the online
environment. Some courses blend online instruction and activities with on-campus class meetings. Most online
courses follow the academic calendar (beginning and ending with the semester). The accelerated online master’s
courses, however, allow you to progress at your own pace with flexible 8-week courses with 5 available start dates.
