Facts about WebCampus, the University's online course management system:

- According to a 2011 survey, 76.5 percent of students indicated that they were either "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" with the system.
The University of Nevada, Reno offers more than 200 online courses each year. This means that Nevada students can earn credits towards their degree and entire selected degrees, minors and certificates, regardless of location or situation.
Online learning has a number of advantages including schedule flexibility and the ability to take university courses away from the Reno area. The university even offers a selection of online degrees, minors and certificate programs.

State Authorization for Distance Education
The U.S. Department of Education requires all institutions offering distance education to be authorized in the states in which it operates. As stated in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR):
If an institution is offering postsecondary education through distance or correspondence education to students in a State in which it is not physically located or in which it is otherwise subject to State jurisdiction as determined by the State, the institution must meet any State requirements for it to be legally offering postsecondary distance or correspondence education in that State. An institution must be able to document to the Secretary the State's approval upon request. (34 CFR§ 600.9[c])
This means that Online and Independent Learning must acquire approval from any state where students reside and take University of Nevada, Reno online courses. This is an ongoing and lengthy process, and we are working diligently to acquire those authorizations.
Because authorization has not been received in all states, students should contact Online and Independent Learning before applying to any online degree program. Our office can be reached in the following ways:
