The LAS Online Course Access Policy was approved by the College of LAS Courses and Curricula Committee in 2024 to promote equity and access for all students, regardless of their financial aid status. In order to qualify for the tuition revenue-sharing model, LAS Online Certified courses offered in the winter or summer terms must also be available to students during fall or spring semesters (face-to-face or online). For example:

  • An LAS Online Certified course offered in summer 2025 must also run in spring 2025 or fall 2025.
  • An LAS Online Certified course offered in winter 2025 must also run in fall 2025 or spring 2026.

Individual exceptions will be made for highly specialized elective courses such as field courses, study abroad programs, as well as courses that are part of online degree programs or for transfer students.
