eLearning for Current Students
Overview
UTD’s online students have access to the same resources as on-campus students. In this section, you will find important information on technical requirements, online services, and links to course resources.
Instructors may post course materials via eLearning, an online course management system.
- Students can access online course content in eLearning by logging in using their NetID and password.
- Students can activate their NetID and password or address password issues by visiting the UTD NetID website.
- Student can check whether their browser supports eLearning by using the Browser Checker.
You can view online course offerings and access existing course syllabi using UTD’s CourseBook search tool. (If a current syllabus is not available, please contact the professor.) Most online courses at UTD have a section number as 0W1, and most hybrid courses have a section number as 0H1. If a course has more than one section, the section number will increment accordingly i.e., 0W2 or 0H2, etc.
Online courses will become available in eLearning on the first day of the semester. Please Note: If your class is a 2nd eight-week or 2nd five-week course, the class will become available on the first day of that term. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for these dates.
