Academic Advising

Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor prior to the registration process to ensure timely completion of their academic goals. For more information, visit www.usi.edu/registrar/registration/academic-advising.

Academic Progress

Prior to the priority registration period, any undergraduate degree-seeking student with a cumulative USI grade point average less than 2.00 will have a registration hold placed on their record. A student receiving this registration hold must consult with an academic advisor prior to registration for the next semester to formulate a plan for improving academic performance.

USI Nearby

If you live or work on Evansville’s east side, downtown Evansville, or in Warrick County, USI courses may be right around the corner! Each spring and fall, many courses (many meeting Core 39 requirements) are offered at the following off-campus locations:

  • Eastside–National Guard Armory, 3300 E. Division St. (typically Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays)
  • Downtown–Innovation Pointe, 318 Main St. (typically upper-level or graduate classes)
  • Warrick County–Castle High School, Hwy. 261, Newburgh (typically one night a week, Monday through Thursday)

For directions, maps, and parking information for these off-campus sites, visit www.usi.edu/nearby. Several other off-campus locations are utilized from time to time; log on to myUSI to Look Up Classes by campus (Main, Distance Education, Off-Campus).

Distance Learning

Each semester, a number of courses are offered via Distance Learning. For a listing of distance learning classes, log on to myUSI and search by campus type or visit www.usi.edu/distance for additional information.

USI students follow the appropriate registration schedule to enroll in USI Distance Learning courses. Distance learning courses are designated by a section number beginning with an “.N” and the second character provides additional delivery information:

.NO1 Internet only
.NC1 Internet-based, some required classroom attendance
.NM1 Internet and other media such as CD-ROM
.NR1 Internet and required videoconference attendance at remote locations
.NV1 Internet and videotape/DVD rental/podcast

NOTE: Distance learning sections may require proctored exam times. It is the student’s responsibility to locate a proctor and/or proctoring site to fulfill the course requirements. Consult your course syllabus or contact the instructor to determine if exam proctoring is required.

With academic advisor approval, students may enroll in courses at our partner institutions through the Indiana College Network (ICN). Because ICN distance learning courses require coordination between campuses, students are encouraged to initiate the registration process during priority registration in November. The ICN pre-registration process for fall 2016 must be completed by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 17. Students who wish to drop/withdraw from an ICN course are required to submit a course drop request on the ICN website (www.icn.org). For further details about distance learning courses, visit www.usi.edu/distance.

Online Student Readiness Assessment

If you are curious about your readiness level for online learning success, the Department of Distance Learning offers a free online assessment tool (a $25 value) for students to learn about their readiness level before making a decision to take an online course or join an online degree program. Log on to Blackboard and enter the course site “FREE Distance Learning Student Readiness Assessment” to get started with the assessment. It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. If you do not see this course on Blackboard or have any question about this assessment, contact the Department of Distance Learning at 812-228-5124 for assistance.
