Course Logistics

How long do I have to complete a UEX online course?

If you enrolled on or after September 1, 2009, you have five months to complete coursework, then have 30 days in which to take your final exam. See online policies for five month courses for more information on course completion and extension options.

If you enrolled before September 1, 2009, you have nine months to complete an online course. See online policies for nine month courses for more information on course completion and extension options.

How many assignments can I submit at a time?

It depends on your course. If you’re in one of our Blackboard courses, you can submit up to three instructor-graded assignments at a time. Once your instructor grades an assignment (no later than three business days), you can submit another one. If you’re in one of our Speedway2 courses, you can submit up to three assignments in a seven-day period.

How do I take exams in a UEX online course?

You will request all exams through the appropriate link on your course home page. You must have your exam request approved before you can take your exam, and you must take your exams at an approved testing location. On your exam request, you will indicate if you are taking the test at UT’s K-16 Education Testing Center or if you require the exam to be mailed to an alternate, approved testing site.

What if I run out of time?

If you find that you need more time, extension options are available. Policies differ, depending of if you enrolled before or on or after September 1, 2009. Please refer to extension information under the online course policies that apply to you.
