Welcome to Online Learning at Xavier University!

This orientation is designed to give you the information and tools you need to be successful in your online courses. Perhaps the most important thing to know about online learning at Xavier is that each online course provides the same level of quality, content, and learning as our face-to-face courses.

Learning online can be a rewarding, and challenging part of your college education. We know that students choose online learning for many different reasons, but whatever your reason, we want to make sure you are prepared to have a positive learning experience. Even if you've taken an online course before, be sure to take advantage of the resources and support available.

After you have read and viewed all the content in the orientation, you can take a quiz to demonstrate what you have learned. Answering at least 10 of the 12 quiz questions correctly is considered successful completion of the orientation. You will receive an email with your quiz score to share with your instructor if it has been requested. You can retake the quiz if you do not receive a passing score the first time. The quiz can be accessed after the final module.
