Enroll in Courses

NDS Apps due Jan 01, 2025

If you wish to take classes as an NDS student, please apply for NDS status before Jan 01 to ensure there enough time to process your admissions before term starts on Jan 06, 2025.

How do I enroll in an online class?

Distance Education students will use the Engineering Online (EOL) Portal to submit their enrollment request.  Students cannot enroll in distance education courses through MyPack Portal and must use the EOL Portal for all enrollment requests. As with many University systems, students will utilize their Unitiy ID and password to log in.

Students must have an Active status with the University to access the EOL Portal To enroll in classes with Engineering Online, you first need to apply to the university and be admitted as a graduate or non-degree student. Students cannot audit an online engineering class at the undergraduate or graduate level.

Follow our step-by-step instructions for new or returning students enrolling in EOL courses:

  1. Review our Apply page for more information and steps regarding admissions and becoming an active student. 
  2. Contact Dustin R. Norris, Asst. Director for Registration & Student Services, if you have questions about getting started.
  3. Apply for either Non-Degree Studies or one of our 19 Graduate Programs or 16 Certificate Programs
