Message from UAF Chancellor Rogers

“eLearning and Distance Education is an important part of the educational options UAF offer our students. Over the years, distance education has grown from something delivered to remote students via the postal service to a robust program that serves students throughout our campus, state, and nation using a broad range of traditional and technological methods.

Today, 73 percent of the credit hours delivered through UAF eLearning and Distance Education are to students who live in the Fairbanks area. More and more students are using eLearning and distance courses to complete 2- and 4-year degrees. CDE must change to accommodate this growth and transformation.
