About Georgia ONmyLINE

Georgia ONmyLINE provides access to a full array of online and distance education offerings from the 35 colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia (USG). Through this site prospective and enrolled students can quickly find programs and/or courses that meet their career or degree needs. They can apply for admission to colleges and universities, and once accepted, register for courses. The offerings listed in this site will serve both students who seek fully online solutions for their education needs, as well as on-campus students who seek occasional online formats to meet their content, time, and scheduling needs.

Flexibility and Convenience

Two key words for Georgia ONmyLINE are flexibility and convenience. Georgia ONmyLINE provides many of the programs and courses that are in demand by working professionals, traditional students working on degrees, and adult learners curious about a subject. Probably the greatest benefit of online education is the incredible convenience that it offers. As job responsibilities grow increasingly complex and personal lives become more hectic, online education lets you study at times and locations that are convenient for you. 24-hour on-demand delivery makes education available for everyone. In addition, you may select courses and programs from any of USG’s 35 institutions.

How are on-campus education and online education different?

Students admitted to USG’s online programs learn the same material and benefit from the same rigorous and high-quality learning experiences as campus-based students and they enjoy frequent interactions with the instructor and other classmates. In fact, instead of being limited to asking questions during class or office hours, students have direct access to instructors via email or message boards. Instructors receive the necessary online course skills and training to ensure that they can effectively teach online. These instructors incorporate the best practices of traditional teaching, just in a virtual classroom setting.

Online courses often require at least as much, if not more, time and commitment than traditional courses. With the increased freedom and flexibility comes responsibility. Without the structure of regular class meetings, it will be up to you to stay motivated, pace yourself, and keep up with assignments.

Quality online courses and programs

You can expect the same high-quality, academically challenging courses as those taught in the face-to-face classroom. The quality of online courses and programs is extremely important to the faculty and administration of the USG – they are committed to maintaining the academic excellence for which they are known. We make every effort to achieve the highest level of instructional quality and student satisfaction in all our online offerings. Our online catalogue adheres to the following external standards of quality:

  • All 35 institutions in the USG are accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. SACS is one of the six regional accrediting agencies recognized by the National Board of Education.
  • Earning college credit from an institution accredited by a regional accrediting agency is the surest way to have your college credit recognized and accepted by employers and other universities.
  • SACS has quality standards for distance education programs that all courses and programs affiliated with colleges and universities in the USG must follow.
  • The USG endorses the Southern Regional Education Board's Principles of Good Practice. A consortium of the K-20 educational systems of the sixteen southeastern states, SREB works with state governments and other stakeholders to improve teaching and learning.
