For full program details, see the official program listing in the UNC Undergraduate Catalog. Please note that this program features 72 of the required major/PTEP credits delivered online over three years. The full degree requirements can be completed online in three years via a combination of any of the following: existing transfer coursework, potential future transfer coursework, and additional online course enrollment as needed at UNC. Please contact the Program Coordinator with any questions, and you will have an assigned Advisor once you are admitted.

Tuition

This is an Extended Campus program, which means a flat per-credit tuition rate for all students (in-state or out-of-state/international) and no student fees (they are incorporated into our flat tuition rate). Please note: some courses may include assessment, course, participation or supervision fees for additional services and materials. Most Extended Campus courses do not include these fees, but you can check the current course-specific UNC Academic Fees. Note: Program Fees do not apply to Extended Campus.

Program tuition for the 2023-24 academic year (which runs Fall, Spring, and Summer terms) is $427 per credit hour. Tuition for the 2024-25 academic year will be determined mid-June 2024.

For information about paying your bill, including UNC's BearPay monthly payment option, visit the Bursar's Office Your Bill page.

Estimates of additional costs: For the purposes of determining financial aid, UNC follows Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) and federal guidelines to develop an estimated, average Cost of Attendance (budget) for different student classifications. For your personal tuition estimates, we recommend using the program-specific tuition information above. But UNC's official Cost of Attendance/Student Budgets page can help you identify other estimated expenses for which you may be responsible while completing your program.

Upcoming Courses

Textbook requirements are available six weeks before each course begins. To find books for the courses you have registered for, go to Ursa and choose My Textbooks under the Student tab. Textbooks are also submitted to the UNC Bookstore, which is one option for you to purchase them.

Registering for *Non-Extended-Campus* Courses for LAC or Elective Requirements (If Needed):
If you wish to take UNC courses not offered through Extended Campus, you can register (if space is available) for campus-based sections of courses, but must follow certain procedures to ensure that you are properly registered as an Extended Campus student in the course. 

Registration Steps for LAC/general elective courses
