Tuition and Fees

All online students get a flat tuition credit rate based on the program they selected, not their state of residence. Tuition and fees vary by degree program. More information is available on the specific webpage for each program.

Online Student Experience

Accreditation and Eligibility

Indiana Wesleyan University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

A U.S. citizen who is not in default under a prior student loan is eligible for a federal student loan program if enrolled in a program leading to a degree, professional licensure, or certification.

Application Process

It is best to submit your application as early as possible to allow time to gather and submit the required documents. At a minimum, you should start the process at least two weeks before the deadline.

An Admissions Representative will be assigned to you when we receive your application.

Online Course Structure

A wide variety of learning activities are used, in order to give students numerous ways and opportunities to demonstrate their learning, and the types of activities do vary from program to program.

Each class session or "workshop" lasts seven days. Students log in throughout those seven days to view their assignments, participate in discussions and team activities, and submit their assignments. There is no prescribed date and time for class sessions. Instructors have two weeks after the last day of class to submit grades.

Lectures, in the traditional sense, are not a significant part of IWU's online learning programs. Instead, faculty members participate in class discussions and provide their insights in interactive fashion rather than a sit-and-listen lecture. There is also a Facilitator's Forum that affords our faculty a venue in which to expand upon or explain textbook concepts.

For online classes, to be counted present, a student must participate in at least one designated discussion or submit at least one assignment due during the workshop.

Transcripts and Degree Recognition

Since the course objectives, major learning activities and assignments, and assessment criteria are essentially the same for online and onsite courses, no distinction is reflected on your transcript. You will earn the same degree online as you would in a classroom.

Indiana Wesleyan University is using Parchment for ordering transcripts. As a result, you will now need to submit your transcript request through their services.

Textbooks and Materials

Textbooks and other resources are included in the overall cost of most of our programs. You will receive your textbooks and materials for your first course a couple of days before it begins.

Course Schedules

Most of our programs have a new class starting every six to eight weeks, which is about the same length of an average course.

Campus Developments

Indiana Wesleyan University announced the development of a new Welcome Center on its Marion campus. Located at 4412 S. Washington Street, the Welcome Center will serve as a central point for prospective students and visitors.
