Online education allows students to enroll in University courses that take place in a 'virtual' environment. This type of course delivery allows students, who may not otherwise be able to take classes during the day, an opportunity to benefit from higher education.

'Online' means taking classes through the internet. Online courses use Canvas as a platform to deliver course content. Canvas can be accessed through a high-speed internet connection.

The University of Texas at Tyler strives to provide up-to-date and innovative resources for our students.

Online education requires a lot of written communication. Most instructor to students and peer to peer communication will take place through Canvas discussion boards, emails, video chat, etc.

An online course typically requires at least 10 hours of prep and study time each week; a time commitment that is important to be successful.

You will access your online course through Canvas.

If you have technical problems associated with your course you should contact the UT Tyler IT Department at itsupport@uttyler.edu.
